Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large plantains extra ripe, peeled and sliced on a bias

Cooking Steps

  • Slice the plantains on a bias, about ½-inch thick and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Reduce heat if plantains are browning too quickly. Fry until caramelized on the outside with a buttery center.
  • Remove the fried plantains onto a paper towel-lined plate. Season if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use neutral oils like Canola, Avocado, and Grapeseed for best results.
