Ingredients
- 2 pieces Green plantains

Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the plantains under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Step 2
Use a sharp knife to cut off both ends of each plantain.
Step 3
Make a shallow slit along the length of each plantain to help peel them easily.
Step 4
Using your fingers or a small knife, remove the peel from the plantains carefully to avoid waste.
Step 5
Cut the peeled plantains into 1-inch thick slices.
Step 6
In a medium-sized pot, add the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 7
Once the water is boiling, add the plantain slices and sea salt.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot with its lid.
Step 9
Allow the plantains to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 10
Once cooked, drain the water and let the plantains sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly.
Step 11
Serve the boiled plantains as a side dish or snack. They can be enjoyed alone or paired with keto-friendly dips.
