Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Plantains

    Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  4. 4

    Season the Plantains

    Once cooked, remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

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