Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 plantain (2 plantains for 4 or more people)

  • cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the plantain and slice it very thinly.
  2. Heat the coconut oil in a fry pan.
  3. At this point, if you want to slightly dust your plantains with paprika and/or cayenne pepper, do that now.

  6. Remove the plantains from the oil and onto a plate covered in paper towels.
  7. Salt immediately.

Notes

*These do not keep well overnight and they start to soften up after about an hour so be sure to serve and eat them immediately after you make them!
