Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Carefully peel the ripe plantains by making a slit along the skin and removing it. Make sure to remove all the skin as it can be tough.
- 2
Slice the Plantains
Cut the peeled plantains diagonally into thick slices, about 1 inch thick. This allows for a crispy exterior and soft interior.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until 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 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Season
Once fried, remove the plantains from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
