Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut ends off of plantains and run a knife along the sides, peeling the skin off.
  • Slice on a diagonal about ½ in thick.
  • Heat a large skillet with oil so it completely covers the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot enough (you want to hear a sizzle when plantain goes in), place plantains a few at a time in the hot oil.
  • Fry on 1st side until it is golden brown and caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Fry the other side until golden brown.
  • Optional: sprinkle with brown sugar or sea salt (But I find them sweet enough).
