Calories 226kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 plantains blackened
  • pinch sea salt
  • 2-4 T. coconut oil for frying (use a smaller non-stick skillet (mine is 6 inches), then you will need less oil)
  • 2 T. unsweetened coconut optional
  • applesauce or maple syrup as desired for sweetness

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the plantains into 1 inch slices.
  • Heat the skillet and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat (the smaller the skillet the less oil you will need).
  • Allow them to fry for about 3-4 minutes each side (check them after 3 minutes, they should be lightly browned).
  • Place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain a bit (or not :-); They taste delicious with the coconut oil drippings too!).
  • Repeat this process until all of the plantain slices are fried, using oil as needed.

Notes

This recipe is based on using 4 tablespoons of coconut oil and no maple syrup, applesauce, or coconut. Weight Watchers points (new system): 7
