Ingredients

The Plantains

2 ripe plantains
2 tablespoons (28g) melted coconut oil

Honey Peanut Butter Sauce

2 tablespoons (42g) honey (more if desired)
¼ cup (68g) peanut butter or almond butter

Instructions

Grilling Plantains

Heat the grill on medium-high heat until it reaches 375-400°F (190-205℃).
Cut off both ends of the plantains for easier peeling. Slit a shallow line down the length of the plantain as deep as the peel. Pull the peel back and remove it.
Slice plantains in half lengthwise. Brush both sides of the plantain halves with melted coconut oil until evenly coated.
Place the plantain slices on the hot grill, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly browned with grill marks. Flip them carefully with a spatula and grill for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
Once the plantains have reached the desired doneness, take them out of the grill, transfer them to a serving platter, and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve plantains with dollops of the honey peanut butter dip or as a side with your desired protein.

Honey Peanut Butter Sauce

Stir the honey and peanut butter until thoroughly mixed.

Notes

Feel free to make them savory by sprinkling the plantains with Creole seasoning before putting them on the grill.
