Plantain Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and cook until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the plantains and let it caramelize for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the plantains are coated.

  2. 2

    Serve

    Transfer the sautéed plantains onto a serving plate. Top with a generous scoop of butter pecan ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve with churros on the side for a delightful crunch.
