The perfect healthy, clean, gluten-free breakfast is created with this Fried Plantain and Sausage Breakfast Bowl. It’s AIP Paleo-friendly, too!
Joining a CSA has been such a good thing for me. Even though I am a total Type-A personality and simply cannot resist meal planning every week, the CSA has forced me to loosen my grip on having an exact plan. Since I usually go grocery shopping on Friday or Saturday for the week ahead, yet we pick up our CSA haul on Mondays, I really have no way to plan each upcoming haul into our meals. And while this may sort of seem like it might cause some freak out moments for me, it has actually been really great.
We have been trying and cooking with new-to-us vegetables (like kohlrabi and garlic scapes, so far), and have even created some new dishes that we may never have thought of otherwise. This Fried Plantain and Sausage Breakfast Bowl is a twist on one of those recipes.
During our first week of the CSA, we received a TON of greens. On one particular evening that week, I was digging through the fridge to come up with a side for our main dish. I grabbed a head of kale and a green plantain off of the counter and turned them into a seriously delicious side dish. Did I know it was going to be delicious when I started making it? No. Am I glad I made it? I’d say yes considering I have made it again at least three times since then and have now made it into a main dish perfect for a full meal <– AKA this recipe!
And for the heads up, you can totally use both green and yellow plantains for this recipe. While I personally love it with green (less sweet) plantains, the more ripened yellow version totally works, too. There is nothing wrong with a little sweet and savoriness, right?

You absolutely should, though I’m biased 😉 Please let me know if you do!
I need to bring plantains back into my life! Especially for breaky – this looks so good 😀
Yes! I could seriously eat plantains for every single meal!
This looks so delicious!! I am currently on a ketogenic diet and this looks perfect for me. I’m just going to switch the plantains out with cauliflower chunks. Sooo yummy!
This would definitely be so perfect for you, then! The addition of cauliflower rice would be amazing!
Yeay! I’ve been looking forward to you sharing this recipe. Pinning it so I have to make down the road.
I hope you enjoy it, Shannon! It is definitely a new favorite of mine!
Dang, girl, this looks awesome! Any new way of using plantains is a winning recipe for me! 🙂
Yes! Plantains are seriously the best!
