A delightful twist on a classic, these caramelized honey plantains are enhanced with a touch of fresh herbs for a perfect balance of sweetness and freshness.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the canola oil.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to prevent burning.
Peel and slice the plantains diagonally into even pieces.
Cutting the plantains on a bias increases the surface area for caramelization.
Place the plantain slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Flip the slices gently to avoid breaking them.
Add the butter and scallions to the pan, stirring until the butter melts and the scallions soften.
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the butter and scallions.
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the plantains and drizzle with honey, stirring gently to coat.
Adjust the amount of honey based on your desired sweetness.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
