Plantain Fritters
Plantain Fritters
The plantain fritters are super easy to make; and are vegan, paleo friendly, and gluten free if you use rice flour. These can also be made sweet; replacing the onion, garlic, green onion, parsley, and cayenne with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 3 ripe plantains
- 1 cup whole wheat or rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp ginger grated
- 2 tbsp onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp green onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, lightly chopped up the plantains until there are no more lumps. If they are really ripe, you can smash them with a potato masher.
- Addthe remaining ingredients to the mashed plantains.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Add 2” of cooking oil to a pot over medium high heat. The oil temp should read 350 degrees. Using a cookie dropper, drop balls of the plantain dough into the hot oil. Make sure to not overcrowd the pot. These will take about 6 minutes to fry. Drain grease on a paper towel.
- Serve with dip consisting of 2/3 mayo/ 1/3 sriracha.
