Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, and sea salt until well combined.
Brush or toss the plantain slices with the olive oil mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Place the plantain slices directly on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the plantains are soft and caramelized.
While the plantains are grilling, halve the lime and squeeze its juice over the grilled plantains as they cook.
Once the plantains are done, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled plantains with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve warm with additional lime wedges on the side.
