Fried Plantains Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains by slicing off the ends and making a lengthwise cut along the skin. Remove the skin and slice the plantains diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Fry Plantains

    Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fried plantains warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
