Fried Plantain Ingredients

Method

Fried Plantain Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Plantains

    Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

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

  5. 5

    Serve

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