Fried Plantains with Blueberry Compote

By Jen Paleracio | November 4, 2020

This is a sweet and very light after meal dessert. Sometimes I have these plantains for breakfast also. Compote is a fresh sweet sauce that you can make as quick as 15 minutes. They’re a great topping to your pancakes, toast, or any dessert that you’d like to jazz it up! You can make a compote with any fruit or berries.

Let’s start cooking!

You can also use regular bananas. I used plantains, they’re firm and nice when fried. You can use any berries you like for the compote.
