Grilled Pineapple Salsa with Plantain Chips Recipe


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To create this tropical delight, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 large plantains, sliced thinly
  • Olive oil

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Grilled Pineapple Salsa with Plantain Chips:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan.
    Ensure your grill is hot enough to create those beautiful grill marks on the pineapple.
  2. Prepare the pineapple.
    Brush the diced pineapple chunks with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance the grilling process.
  3. Grill the pineapple.
    Place the pineapple on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, approximately 3-4 minutes. This will caramelize the sugars, intensifying the pineapple’s natural sweetness.
  4. Mix the salsa ingredients.
    In a large bowl, combine the grilled pineapple, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to ensure the flavors meld together.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    While the salsa ingredients are mingling, turn your attention to the plantain chips.
  6. Prepare the plantain slices.
    Arrange the thinly sliced plantains on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
  7. Bake the plantain chips.
    Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Serve and enjoy.
    Pair the freshly made salsa with the crispy plantain chips, and let the tropical flavors transport you to a sunny paradise.
