Step 1
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet.
Step 2
Peel the plantains by trimming the ends, slicing just through the skin down one side, and removing the peel. Cut into angled slices approximately 1-1 1/2" thick.
Step 3
Place the plantains into your skillet close together, but not touching, and cook for about two minutes per side, until they are soft.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium low, and cook an additional 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until uniformly golden brown. The color comes from the sugar caramelizing as the plantains cook.
Step 5
Place on a paper-towel lined plate briefly to drain and serve immediately.
