Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare Plantains
Peel the ripe plantains by cutting off both ends and making a shallow lengthwise cut along the skin. Carefully remove the skin and slice the plantains diagonally into thick slices, about 1 inch wide.
- 2
Heat Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of plantain sizzles when added.

Fry Plantains
Add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

Drain and Season
Once the plantains are golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
