Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the peel off the ripe plantains. Start at the top and run the knife along the length of the plantain, being careful not to cut too deeply into the flesh.
- 2
Slice the Plantains
Once peeled, cut the plantains into diagonal slices about 1-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and create larger surface areas for caramelization.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- 4
Fry the Plantains
Carefully place the sliced plantains into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- 5
Drain and Season
Once the plantains are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Serve
Transfer the fried maduros to a serving dish. If desired, serve with a side of sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
