Ingredients
- 2 units ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and making a lengthwise slit through the skin. Carefully remove the peel and discard.
Step 2
Slice the plantains into diagonal pieces approximately 1/2 inch thick. Ensure the slices are uniform for even cooking.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking. You can test this by placing one plantain piece in the oil; it should sizzle gently.
Step 4
Carefully place the plantain slices in the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook in batches.
Step 5
Fry the plantains for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
Step 6
Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried plantains to a plate lined with paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain.
Step 7
Sprinkle the plantains with sea salt while they are still warm to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a delectable Whole30-friendly snack or side dish!
