Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Peel the Plantains

    Carefully peel the ripe plantains by cutting off both ends and making a slit along the skin to remove it.

    Slice the Plantains

    Cut the peeled plantains into diagonal slices about 1 inch thick.

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Plantains

    Add the sliced plantains to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

    Serve the sweet plantains warm as a side dish or snack.
