Ingredients
- 2 large Green plantains
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Step 2
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends and making a shallow slit along the length of each plantain skin. Use your fingers to peel back the skin.
Step 3
Slice the plantains into 1/2 inch thick pieces on a slight diagonal.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the sliced plantains with olive oil and salt until well-coated.
Step 5
Place the plantain slices on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized.
Step 6
While the plantains are grilling, prepare the lime and honey glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
Step 7
Once the plantains are grilled, remove them from the grill and brush them generously with the lime and honey glaze.
Step 8
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the glazed plantains for a fresh finish.
Step 9
Serve the grilled plantains warm, as a sweet and tangy side or dessert.
