Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe plantains
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
In a medium bowl, mix together coconut flour, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Coat each plantain slice in the coconut flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Add the coated plantain slices to the skillet in a single layer. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried plantains from the skillet, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fried plantains warm as a side dish or as a delicious snack.
