Fried Plantains

Prepare Plantains

Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends and making a slit along the length of the skin. Gently remove the skin.

Slice Plantains

Slice the plantains into diagonal or round slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat Oil

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You'll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Fry Plantains

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the plantain slices in the pan in a single layer. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Season

Remove the plantains from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt while still warm.
