Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Start by removing the skin from the ripe plantains. Cut off the ends of each plantain and make a shallow slit along the length of the skin to make it easier to peel off.
- 2
Slice the Plantains
Once peeled, slice the plantains diagonally into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. This shape will help them cook evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
- 4
Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- 5
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the plantains from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon, if desired.
