Ingredients
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 yellow or black plantains cut into 1-inch julienne-cut slices
- 1/3 cup olive or canola oil for sautéing
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon almond tequila
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Toss together brown sugar and plantain slices.
- Over medium flame, heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Sauté plantains in hot oil on each side for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer plantains to serving plates. The coating is sticky so do NOT drain on paper towels.
- Combine honey, tequila, cinnamon, and warm melted butter in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly smooth.
- Spoon sauce over plantains. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Select yellow or black plantains for optimum flavor and tenderness. We do not recommend substituting bananas for plantains.
- Almond Tequila - If you don't have any on hand, feel free to use regular tequila and add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.
