Dessert Plantains Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Fry the Plantains

    Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil, frying them until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and granulated sugar.

  5. 5

    Coat the Plantains

    While the plantains are still warm, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the cinnamon-sugar coated plantains in a serving dish and drizzle with donut glaze. Enjoy warm!
