Puerto Rican Fried Sweet Plantains
Total Time: 00h 15m
Makes: 1 serving
Ripe plantains pan fried in cinnamon and maple sugar until caramelized are a delicious snack on their own or spoon them over ice cream, yogurt or oatmeal. I created a simple sundae of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of cinnamon vanilla maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. This recipe is easily doubled and so on for as many additional plantains as you like. (Thank you to our friend Stacey Swanson for creating this wonderful recipe.)
