Fried Sweet Plantains (15 Minutes!)

vegetable oil

brown sugar

Prep the plantains

. Slice the plantains on a bias, at an angle, about 1/2-inch thick (as illustrated in images). Set the sliced plantains aside on a plate/platter or small baking sheet.

Fry the plantains

. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the plantain slices into the skillet- working in batches, careful not to overcrowd. Fry the plantains until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Use a slotted utensil (I like to use a fish spatula) to gently flip the plantains while frying; careful not to handle them too aggressively as they&#8217;re super tender.

If you notice your plantains are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. I find 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve perfectly crispy yet nice, tender-in-the-middle plantains. However, you can fry your plantains until they reach your desired level of doneness- just look for them to be caramelized on the outside with a buttery center.

Serve

. Set the fried sweet plantains onto a paper towel-lined plate to sop up any excess oil. Season the plantains, if desired. I like to sprinkle them with a mix of cajun seasoning and brown sugar- the perfect savory/sweet combo. Serve plantains immediately as a snack or alongside your favorite main entrees. Enjoy!
