Ingredients

2 pieces ripe plantains
2 tablespoons coconut oil
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoons erythritol sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe plantains by cutting off both ends, then make a slit lengthwise through the skin. Use your hands to carefully peel away the skin.

Step 2

Slice the plantains into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat until it's shimmering and hot.

Step 4

Add the plantain slices to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Fry the plantains for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 7

While hot, sprinkle the fried plantains with salt, ground cinnamon, and erythritol sweetener for added sweetness.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or snack.
