Crispy Fried Plantains with Pluck Seasoning (Pluck-tains)

If you love the natural sweetness and caramelized flavor of fried plantains, this recipe takes them to the next level by pairing them with the nutrient-rich goodness of Pluck seasoning . These crispy fried plantains with seasoning are a crowd-pleasing side dish that brings together the traditional comfort of plantains and the bold umami punch of organ-based spices. Ripe yellow plantains offer a sweeter bite, while greener ones bring a more savory edge—making this recipe versatile to your taste. Quick to prepare, golden and crispy in just minutes, these “Pluck-tains” are perfect as a nutrient-dense side dish, appetizer, or even a wholesome snack. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy them warm for the best flavor.

In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Ensure only enough coconut oil to cover plantains.

Peel and slice plantains into bite size rounds or ovals. Have a medium size bowl off to side to place the plantains once cooked.

In small batches, place some of the plantains in the hot oil to fry. If not fully covered, you'll need to flip them once one side is brown (about 1 minute). Once lightly brown, remove from oil, place in empty bowl and toss with some Pluck. Repeat until all the plantains are fried and seasoned.

Place in a serving bowl or on a plate and finish with the minced parsley. Enjoy!
