Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
Instructions
Peel the ripe plantains by cutting off both ends, then make a slit lengthwise through the skin. Use your hands to carefully peel away the skin.
Slice the plantains into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat until it's shimmering and hot.
Add the plantain slices to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the plantains for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
While hot, sprinkle the fried plantains with salt, ground cinnamon, and erythritol sweetener for added sweetness.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or snack.
