Fried plantains are a popular snack in Dominica, cherished for their sweet and savory flavor. Often enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer, these golden-brown slices are a staple in Dominican cuisine, frequently served during family gatherings and celebrations.
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends and making a slit along the length of the skin. Gently remove the skin.
Slice the plantains into diagonal or round slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You'll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
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.
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.
Serve the fried plantains hot as a side dish or snack.
Enjoy your meal!
