Ingredients
- 3 units ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the lime zest, lime juice, and honey. Stir until combined and set aside.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Step 4
Brush the grill grates lightly with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Brush the plantain slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil on both sides.
Step 6
Place the plantain slices on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown with nice grill marks and the plantains are tender.
Step 7
While the plantains are grilling, give the lime and honey glaze another stir to ensure it's well combined.
Step 8
Once the plantains are grilled, remove them from the grill and immediately drizzle the lime and honey glaze over the top.
Step 9
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the glazed plantains to enhance the sweetness.
Step 10
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the plantains for an added fresh flavor.
Step 11
