Plantain Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Plantains

Peel the ripe plantains by cutting off the ends and carefully removing the skin. Slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

3

Fry the Plantains

Add the sliced plantains to the skillet in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized.

4

Add Sugar and Salt

Sprinkle the brown sugar and salt over the fried plantains and stir gently to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sugar melts.

5

Serve

Remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on a serving dish. Enjoy them warm as a sweet and salty treat!
