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
