Grilled Plantains are the perfect side dish or dessert, made with only 2 ingredients and in 10 minutes! All you need are some super-ripe plantains and coconut oil for this easy treat.
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the plantains in half vertically, leaving the peel on. This will hold the plantain together and ensure they don’t fall apart on the grill.
Step 3
Start grilling the plantain with the flesh side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes until grill marks form and the plantain slightly softens. Turn over to peel side and grill for about 1-3 minutes. You know it’s done when the plantain begins to pull away from the peel. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. These can be served with a savory dish when topped with salt or become a sweet dish with cinnamon, honey, whipped cream, or ice cream.
