paleo plantain fries



this easy recipe makes the most delicious, crispy on the outside, starchy on the inside "french fries"-minus the awful oils, overload of salt, and white potatoes. and they take just minutes to make!
they taste amazing by themselves, or dunked in your favorite homemade sugar free ketchup, or dipping sauce. even great with guac!

ingredients:
3 green plantains
3 T coconut oil
sea salt + pepper to taste

-score your plantains and remove the peel. cut in half, and then slice up like fries.
-heat your oil in an extra large skillet and add plantains. season with s + p and cook a few minutes each side to your desired crispiness. remove from heat and enjoy!

1/2 c chopped cilantro
juice of 3 limes
1/2-3/4 c chipotle lime mayo (to desired taste)

-add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix thoroughly. let it sit and marinate in fridge at least 30 min. (it is even better the second day!)

4 small wild caught salmon fillets
ghee
smoked paprika
sea salt

-preheat oven to 350F.
