Venezuelan Sweet Plantains

yellow ripe plantains

butter ((for Whole30 use ghee))

sugar ((see notes))

cinnamon

Cut off the ends of the plantains. Then, use a knife to slice into the skin along the length of the plantain. Don't slice too deep in, just deep enough to slice the skin. Remove the peel in strips with your finger. Cut the plantains into 1-inch-thick slices.&nbsp;

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

When the butter is melted, place the plantains slices into the skillet. Fry until the plantains begin to turn golden brown, then turn over, and continue frying, about 2 minutes per side.

Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle plantain with sugar and cinnamon. Cover the skillet and cook, turning them over once, until the plantains are tender, and they have caramelized, about 8 - 10 minutes.

Serve immediately as a side dish to any entrée.
