Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

For serving

1 tbsp fresh sage leaves, whole, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the plantain rounds in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the plantains are completely tender and easily pierced through with a fork, about 15–18 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
While the plantains cook, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden at the edges, about 5–6 minutes.
