BackSweet ripe plantains pan-fried until caramelized, paired with crispy bacon. A Puerto Rican-inspired breakfast.
Plantains at Selectos ~$0.69 each. Bacon ~$5.99/pack. Coconut oil ~$7.99/jar.
Peel plantain and slice diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Drain most of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tsp in the pan. Add coconut oil.
Fry plantain slices 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized.
Serve plantains with bacon on the side.
