TIP:
The ripeness of the plantain will influence its taste and texture. Greener plantains will contain more starch and therefore become crispier and more closely resemble a chip. Yellow plantains will contain less starch and more sugar. Therefore, they will be sweeter and have a more chewy texture. We love both!
➤ You can also prepare plantains on the stove in a pan of melted coconut oil and fry them. Just be very
careful to monitor the temperature of your oil to prevent burning.

DIRECTIONS
• Cut off one end of each of the plantains.
• Next, cut a shallow slit down the length of each plantain,
making sure not to go too deep.
• Slide your finger between the peeling and the plantain to
remove it- they are a bit different than bananas!
• Cut your plantain into 1/4" slices and place in a bowl.
• Melt your coconut oil (either on the stove or in the oven
JUST until it becomes liquid), pour over plantain pieces.
