If you follow me on instagram you will have seen me posting these a few times already. I am obsessed with this snack right now! These are so good! I was hesitant to try plantains for a long time because they are not permitted on the SCD diet. But as you know I have been slowly adding things back into my diet, and so far so good! Although I do seem to tolerate green plantains much better than the yellow ones. I think it has to do with the starch content, as the sweeter yellow plantains must be higher in starch. That's my theory anyways…
These are super easy and are ready in minutes which is always a bonus! Erik also agrees that these are delicious. Again, it's hard to really call this one a recipe since they are so easy and only use three (yes 3) ingredients. But they are so tasty I just had to post them! Enjoy!
And as always please follow us on Facebook and Pinterest for even more recipes and health tips!
Ingredients
2 green plantains3 TBSP coconut oil (this brand is my favourite) sea salt to taste (I recommend this kind)Directions
1. Place a large frying pan on the stove on medium heat and add the coconut oil2. Open your plantains (the easiest way I have found to do this is to cut off both ends, slice the skin lengthwise down the plantain and then peel away the skin)3. Cut the plantains into thin slices (3-4mm)4. Place the plantain slices into the pan, making sure they don't overlap (they won't cook properly if they do)5. Cook for a few minutes (usually about 4-5) on one side (until golden brown) and then flip and cook for a few more minutes (again until golden brown)6. Before removing from the heat sprinkle with sea salt to taste7. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for a few minutes, serve and enjoy!NOTE: The reason why I like green plantains for this recipe is that they turn out crispy. I have tried this with the yellow, sweet plantains, and while they taste delicious they don't have the same texture. But feel free to try both and let me know which kind you prefer!
