Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Instructions
Start by peeling the plantains and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick slices diagonally.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grill grate with some olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the agave syrup, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and cinnamon to make the glaze.
Brush the plantain slices with olive oil on both sides using a pastry brush.
Place the plantain slices on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the plantains are tender.
During the last minute of grilling, brush the plantains with the lime and honey glaze.
Transfer the grilled plantains to a serving platter and sprinkle with sea salt.
Garnish with chopped fresh mint before serving. Enjoy the grilled plantains warm.
