Sausage & Plantains Breakfast (Easy, Gluten Free, Paleo)
Ground Italian sausage paired with plantain slices fried in coconut oil makes for the perfect quick breakfast! Complete your healthy morning meal with a glass of cold iced tea or coffee.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 organic Italian* breakfast sausage link I buy these in a four pack from Whole Foods
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 plantain
- 2 tablespoons raw honey omit for Whole 30*
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Remove the breakfast sausage from its casing and break it apart into pieces. Sauté it (like you would ground beef) in a medium frying pan until fully cooked. Add spices of choice if desired (I personally found that I did not need any).
- In another medium frying pan, add coconut oil and allow it to melt over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, remove peel and slice plantain into slices about ¼-inch in thickness (slightly thicker than you would for plantain chips).
- Fry the plantain slices in the oil until they are lightly golden brown on each side, flipping halfway through. Remove from pan.
- Drizzle honey over top of the plantains and sprinkle them with sea salt.
- Serve together with sausage and a cold glass of iced tea, coffee, or infused water!
Notes
* I use stainless steel tongs to flip the fried plantains.
*Other options that can be substituted for Italian/pork sausage are turkey sausage, uncured bacon, turkey bacon. Or for a vegan option, use tempeh or vegan chorizo in place of sausage.
