Serves: 8-12
Ingredients
3 ripe plantains
Salt (to taste – but I added a lot)
4 tablespoons of raw coconut oil (add more if needed)
Instructions
Keep the coconut oil out on the counter while you prepare the plantains so that it warms up to room temperature – which will make it easier to cook with.
Begin by peeling the plantains and then slice them at a diagonal. Create thin slices but try to keep each slice about the same size so that they cook evenly.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into a bowl and add about 15 plantain slices. Coat the plantain slices with coconut oil and then put into the skillet on medium heat. Once in the skillet, add a pinch or two of salt and continue to add coconut oil as needed in order to keep the skillet from smoking.
Flip the plantain slices after about 3 minutes or until the desired crispiness and cook the same amount on the opposite side. Repeat these steps until all the plantain slices are cooked to your liking and add salt to taste at the end while they’re still warm.
