"His favorite time is/are evenings." ?

This grammar category I do not understand. Sometimes after a third person of the verb BE inflections (i.e. IS) we use plural. (e.g. It is evenings we like) Why it is so? And what is right in the subject sentence here?

Just an opinion -

I wouldn't dare use either one. While I agree with "It is evenings we like," I'd be inclined to say "His favorite timesare evenings."
