Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces ripe plantains yellow with black spots for the best sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the plantain slices in a single layer, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Notes

For added sweetness, you can serve the plantains drizzled with honey or as a side to your favorite dishes.
