Plantains

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

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

  2. 2

    Fry the Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced plantains. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the fried plantains on a serving plate, crumble queso fresco over the top, and drizzle with crema. Serve immediately.
