Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Green plantains
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Start by rinsing the plantains under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Use a sharp knife to cut off both ends of each plantain.
Make a shallow slit along the length of each plantain to help peel them easily.
Using your fingers or a small knife, remove the peel from the plantains carefully to avoid waste.
Cut the peeled plantains into 1-inch thick slices.
In a medium-sized pot, add the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the plantain slices and sea salt.
Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot with its lid.
Allow the plantains to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once cooked, drain the water and let the plantains sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly.
Serve the boiled plantains as a side dish or snack. They can be enjoyed alone or paired with keto-friendly dips.
