Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 4 green plantains peeled and cut into 4 inch french fry pieces
  • 1 cup of avocado oil or similar oil for frying

To Season the Plantains:

  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • About 1 teaspoon of parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • Salt to taste

Quick and easy Whole30 Fry Sauce:

Spicy Tamarind Ketchup:

Instructions

  • Combine all of the seasoning for the plantain fries, except the parsley flakes or fresh parsley in a bowl and mix together well.
  • Then add the plantains and toss until fully coated with the seasoning.
  • Add oil to a large skillet or frying pan on medium heat and bring up to temperature.
  • When the oil is hot, add a batch of seasoned plantains to the oil so that they are in a single layer. I typically fry my plantain fries in 3 batches.
  • Cook on medium heat until all the sides are golden brown. Use a spatula to flip the plantains for even cooking throughout frying.
  • Remove the plantains fries from the oil and place in a bowl lined with parchment paper then sprinkle with a pinch of parsley flakes or fresh parsley and mix together.
  • Continue steps 4 to 6 until all the seasoned plantain are fried.

Making the fry sauce

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix together well.
  • Serve the plantain fries with the fry sauce and enjoy.
