• Heat a large cast iron or metal skillet over medium-high heat and chop your plantains in 1/2 inch slices.
• Add to a mixing bowl and toss with coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
• Once the skillet is hot, add coconut oil and only as many plantains as will fit comfortably in the pan without crowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and caramelized.
• Serve warm with dairy-free ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep in the fridge covered for a few days.
