Recipe type: Breakfast, anytime snack
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
RecipeIngredients
  • 1 Ripe plantain ( should be really yellow or black)
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil for frying
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup for drizzling
RecipeInstructions
  1. Place a cooking pot half filed with water and heat till the water begins to boil. Cut the plantain into two halves and place in the boiling water. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the plantains are fully cooked and soft to touch.
  2. Alternatively, you can steam the plantains in a steamer until soft.
  3. Once cooked, peel the plantains and slice them into ½ inch thick rounds.
  4. Heat a non stick cooking pan adding the coconut oil. When hot, add the plantain pieces (you may need to do so in batches) and lightly fry them flipping them once until they turn crispy on both sides (About 1 minute on each side)
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle maple syrup on top!
Notes
Make sure you use only ripe yellow skinned plantains. If they are still pale yellow and seem hard, place them in a brown paper bag for a couple days before using!
