Fried Plantain

Step 1

Peel plantain and cut diagonally into one inch thick slices. Note: I get about 6 or 7 pieces from one large plantain.

Step 2

Add oil to cold frying pan (do not use non-stick frying pan) and let the oil heat up over low-medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the slices one at a time in a circular pattern. Cook until edges turn brown, and flip, beginning with the first plantain you added to the pan. Repeat this process on all four sides. It will take approx. 2 minutes per side.

Step 4

Remove cooked plantain from pan and add to plate lined with a towel. Allow plantains to cool and use towel to remove any excess oil before consuming.
