Plantains


What is your favorite food group? Mine is PLANTAINS!  Not a food group? Well they should be!  I eat plantains with my eggs for breakfast, as a side with my dinner ... or just as a snack.  I can't get enough.  I think I'm slightly obsessed!


Basic Plantains


This Recipe is:
Gluten-Free
Dairy-Free
Paleo
Whole30 approved
Vegetarian/Vegan
Delicious

1.) Buy a GREEN plantain.  As they ripen they get sweeter.  I like them green!  I get them at Railey's because Trader Joe's doesn't carry them :(
2.) Peel the plantain (hint: they don't quite peel like a banana.  Cut off both ends, slice the peel up the side, and peel it off)
3.) Slice the plantain into 1/8" slices.
4.) Cook in 3 T of coconut oil for a few minutes, flip
6.) Season!  I like salt, pepper, and garlic salt.

In the picture I made the plantains a little bit thicker.  But go thin! They are like chips!  I served them with home made guacamole!  Yum!
