This sweet plantains recipe is guaranteed to become your favorite way to enjoy these yummy starchy vegetables. If you’ve ever had sweet fried plantains and wondered how to recreate that sticky-sweet magic at home, this is it!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe Plantains (marbled between black and yellow)
- Neutral Oil such as Avocado Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Cut the ends off the Plantains and discard. Using a sharp pairing knife, gently cut through the peel—making sure not to cut too deep—lengthwise, then remove the outer peel.
- Slice the Plantains diagonally into ⅓-inch rounds and set aside.
- In a large non-stick pan or large frying pan, add enough Oil so that it’s about ¼ inch deep. Heat the Oil to medium heat and add Plantains.
- Cook Plantains on each side for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Flip and repeat.
- Once soft-looking, turn the heat to medium-high to start the caramelization. Cook the Plantains for a few minutes or until they turn dark golden brown. Flip and repeat.
- Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to drain excess Oil. Sprinkle with Salt before serving.
