Maduros Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Fry the Plantains

    Carefully place the sliced plantains in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Once cooked, remove the plantains from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the maduros warm as a delightful tropical side dish.
