Better than bananas! Try them served atop millet and beans.
Ingredients
- 2 black plantains, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Cinnamon to taste
- Brown sugar to taste
Directions
- Put the plantains in a pan coated with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat.
- Flip when they start to brown on the bottom.
- When they have softened and browned, move them to a plate and smash with a wooden spoon.
- Place them back in the pan and cook for a shorter amount of time. Serve.
