Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the ends of each plantain. Make a shallow cut along the length of the plantain and gently peel off the skin, exposing the flesh.
- 2
Slice the Plantains
Once peeled, slice the plantains diagonally into thick pieces, about 1 inch wide.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, pour the vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- 4
Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- 5
Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, remove the plantains from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

Plate the Dish
Serve the fried plantains warm, optionally garnished with sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.
