Rum Roasted Plantains with Brown Butter Syrup
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Rum
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 ripe plantains
- 2 TBS coconut oil
- 1 stick butter
Directions:
Serve on your favorite ice cream. Served 8-10. Prep time 5 min. Cook time 15 min.
- Peel and cut plantains into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Test by dipping a spoon in the liquid, and if it coats the back of the spoon you have the perfect syrup mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium saute pan, on medium heat, add coconut oil. After one minute, add plantains and pan-fry for 3 minutes.
- Flip the plantains and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Remove plantains once cooked.
- In the same saute pan, add butter. Melt butter until it starts to brown, then add the rum and let stand for 1 minute.
- Add the plantains back in the saute pan with the simple brown sugar syrup.
- Enjoy over your favorite Ice Cream. Plain, classic vanilla is my favorite.
