Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into thick pieces, about 1 inch wide.

  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, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the maduros warm as a side dish or snack.
