Dairy-Free Fried Plantains with Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe Plantains
• 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
• 2 medium Avocado
• 1/4 cup Red Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 2 tbsp Lime Juice
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 3 large Ripe Plantains and slice them diagonally into approximately 1/2-inch thick pieces.
2. 2Pour the 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil into a 12-inch skillet and heat it over medium heat until it shimmers, about 350°F (175°C).
3. 3Carefully place the plantain slices into the hot oil in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry the plantains for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
4. 4While the plantains are frying, prepare the avocado salsa. Dice the 2 medium Avocados, the 1/4 cup Red Onion, and the 1 medium Tomato into small, bite-sized pieces.
5. 5Chop the 1/4 cup Cilantro.
6. 6In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, red onion, and tomato with the chopped cilantro. Add the 2 tablespoons Lime Juice, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. Gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined.
7. 7Arrange the fried plantains on a serving platter and spoon the avocado salsa over them, or serve the salsa in a separate bowl alongside the plantains.
