Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil and ground cinnamon. Add a pinch of sea salt.
Brush the plantain slices with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Place the plantains on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown with grill marks and slightly caramelized.
While the plantains are grilling, prepare the glaze by mixing the lime juice, lime zest, and honey in a small bowl. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Once the plantains are grilled, remove them from the heat and immediately drizzle the lime and honey glaze over the top.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely.
Garnish the glazed plantains with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Serve warm as a dessert or as a side dish suitable for various meals.
