Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Green plantains
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends and making a shallow slit along the length of each plantain skin. Use your fingers to peel back the skin.
Slice the plantains into 1/2 inch thick pieces on a slight diagonal.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced plantains with olive oil and salt until well-coated.
Place the plantain slices on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized.
While the plantains are grilling, prepare the lime and honey glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
Once the plantains are grilled, remove them from the grill and brush them generously with the lime and honey glaze.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the glazed plantains for a fresh finish.
Serve the grilled plantains warm, as a sweet and tangy side or dessert.
