Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Plantains

Peel the ripe plantains by cutting off the ends and making a vertical slit along the skin. Remove the skin carefully and cut the plantains into 1-inch slices.

Step 2: Smoke the Plantains

In a smoking device or stove-top smoker, smoke the sliced plantains over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender and infused with a smoky flavor. If you don’t have a smoker, you can grill them on a barbecue or in a grill pan until lightly charred.

Step 3: Mash the Plantains

Transfer the smoked plantains to a mixing bowl. Add the butter (or olive oil), smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Use a potato masher or fork to mash everything together until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.
