These delicious sweet and salty chips are a great Caribbean snack, perfect as a starter or as a side dish to a meal! Serve with Cuban Mojo Salsa, or any other dipping sauce you like!
Note: for the best crispiness, use green plantains and yams (orange sweet potatoes). The vegetables must be soaked in cold salted water after slicing to prevent discoloration.
In the Caribbean Islands, the Plantain is one of the most popular things to cook with. There are a number of dishes you can use them for, but here is a really popular one that is not only vegan, but delicious as well! I serve this all the time as an appetizer, finger foods, etc…everyone loves it! Make sure your plantains are very ripe, but still firm – this is very important in this recipe! This dish can be served hot or cold, and goes great with the Mojo dipping sauce!
This spicy salad is the perfect side dish for anything hot off the bbq grill. The spicy flavor adds a bit of Caribbean flair to an otherwise plain ‘ol boring potato salad. Sooo tasty!
This is my favorite salad on a hot day – the flavors go SO well together and its such a nice, light thing to eat when the weather is so hot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I included the mushrooms in this recipe, but this jerk seasoning can be used on anything you’re going to grill, be it tofu, tempeh, mushrooms, veggies, or whatever you choose! If you’re using the mushrooms, just pull off the stems and marinade them overnight in vegan Worcestershire and red wine with olive oil. Then, about 6 hours before grilling, coat them in the jerk seasoning ingredients listed below. Then toss on the grill!
