Plantains

Prepare the Plantains

Slice the peeled plantains diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Fry the Plantains

Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the plantains for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried plantains from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle with a little salt while they are still hot.

Serve
