Method
Directions
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into diagonal slices, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain the Plantains
Once fried, remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve with Queso Fresco
Sprinkle the fried plantains with salt and serve warm topped with crumbled queso fresco.
