Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel the Plantains

    Using a sharp knife, slice off both ends of each ripe plantain. Make a shallow cut along the length of the plantain's skin and carefully peel it off.

  2. 2

    Slice the Plantains

    Cut the peeled plantains diagonally into thick slices, approximately 1-inch thick.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Plantains

    Carefully place the sliced plantains into the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized.

  3. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried plantains from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
