Sweet and Savory Fried Plantains
Donna22
"Fried plantains are a traditional treat in many parts of the world. Try them once and you'll be hooked. Yellow (ripe) work best. Serve this as a sweet and savory side dish to a meal, as a dessert, or as a snack. They are also delicious atop a dark, leafy, and green spinach or kale salad with goat cheese."

Remove skillet from heat and drizzle agave syrup over the plantain pieces. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the plantains.

I tried this recipe and it was very different and tasty. Cinnamon and garlic give it a good flavor combination and it is easy to make.
