Paleo Plantain Fries (Whole30)
These paleo plantain fries are our cleaned-up version of an old guilty pleasure. They are sure to satisfy any cravings for fries on your Whole30 too.
Ingredients
- 2 green plantains
- 2 tbsp coconut or avocado oil
- sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Start by scoring your plantain peels lengthwise with a knife, and then remove the peels. Cut your plantains in half, and then cut the halves in half again so you end up with four half cylinders. Slice them into thin strips like fries.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and once it is hot, add your coconut or avocado oil to the pan.
- Place your plantain strips into the skillet, and season with salt. After a few minutes, flip the strips over and season with salt again. Add more oil if necessary as you go. You want the fries to get a little brown and crispy on both sides.
- Once your fries have reached your desired level of crispy perfection, remove the fries from the heat and place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Enjoy! Dip these babies in your favorite sauces, and pair these Paleo plantain fries with all your favorite proteins!
