SWEET AND SPICY PLANTAIN CHIPS



Sweet and Spicy Plantain Chips image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch salt
3 green plantains, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Add the coconut oil to a large skillet. Add enough vegetable oil to come about a third of the way up the sides of the skillet and heat over medium-high heat until very hot.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add the plantain slices to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and smash to a chip size with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Return the plantains to the oil in small batches again so they do not stick together and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chips to the towel-lined baking sheet and top with the seasoning mixture.

SWEET AND SAVORY FRIED PLANTAINS



Sweet and Savory Fried Plantains image

Fried plantains are a traditional treat in many parts of the world. Try them once and you'll be hooked. Yellow (ripe) work best. Serve this as a sweet and savory side dish to a meal, as a dessert, or as a snack. They are also delicious atop a dark, leafy, and green spinach or kale salad with goat cheese.

1 large yellow plantain, peeled

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon agave nectar
⅓ teaspoon light brown sugar
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or more to taste

Steps:

SWEET PLANTAINS

Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence. This is a lovely dessert or sweet accompaniment to Arroz Con Pollo or another savory latin dish! I love to eat it with Lechon Asado and Black beans and rice; I think it offsets the garlic well.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 ripe black plantains
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

  • To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.

  • Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
