INGREDIENTS 

• 1 Yellow Plantain (a little green is fine) 
• 2 TBSP Coconut oil 

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Peel the plantain (cut off the top and the bottom, and slice down the side through the skin, this will make it easier to pull the skin off) 
2. Slice the plantain as thin as you would like, so they form little chip circles. 
3. Heat up the coconut oil in a skillet on medium to low heat
4. Place your plantain circles into the oil and grab some tongs. 
5. Cook until they are golden brown on both sides, you might need to flip them a couple of times
6. Take out and put on a paper towel so it soaks up a bit of the excess oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper
7. TOP with whatever you like 

Some topping ideas for you... 

ADDITIONAL NOTES 

• The first time you cook these, flip often to keep from burning, they are thin so they cook really fast. 
• If you want something sweet, sprinkle with cinnamon when they are done and then add some almond butter and honey.
