Fried Sweet Plantains

One popular way to eat them is to pan-fry the sweet plantain slices until they’re warm and tender. The sweet plantains can be fried early in the day and kept at room temperature. Reheat in a warm oven and sprinkle with salt before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 very ripe plantains (about 3/4 pound each), peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
  • Salt

Directions

  1. 1. In a large nonstick skillets, heat the oil until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the plantains in a single layer over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until deep golden and tender, 7 to 8 minutes per batch.
  2. Drain the plantains on a paper towel-lined rack and, if desired, sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm.
