Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Peel the Plantains
Start by cutting the ends off each plantain. Make a shallow lengthwise cut through the skin, then carefully peel the skin away from the fruit.
Slice the Plantains
Once peeled, slice the plantains diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. This will allow for even cooking and a nice presentation.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried plantains onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Finishing Touches
Add Flavor
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the hot fried plantains, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Serve
Serve the sweetened plantains warm as a delicious side dish or snack. Enjoy your tropical treat!
