Minutos is masculine because it derives from Latin "minūtus," which was originally a masculine adjective meaning "small" or "diminished." When Spanish nominalized this adjective to refer to a unit of time, it retained the masculine gender. Spanish words ending in -o derived from Latin masculine forms typically maintain masculine gender.
