Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe plantains
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the plantains and cut them into diagonal slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, cinnamon, and salt. Brush the mixture lightly onto both sides of each plantain slice.
Grill the plantain slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have grill marks.
While the plantains are grilling, prepare the glaze. Zest the lime and then juice it into a small bowl. Add the honey and whisk together until well combined.
Remove the grilled plantains from the grill and immediately brush the lime and honey glaze over them while they are still hot.
Garnish with freshly chopped mint leaves before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a sweet low-fat dessert.
