Ingredientes
  

  • 4 ripe dark-skinned plantains
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. Preparation
  2. Heat vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat.
  3. Fully peel plantains, and cut them diagonally into approximately 1-inch wide pieces, working your way down the length of the plantain. (NOT length-wise slices).
  4. Carefully place pieces of plantain in skillet.
  5. Flipping often, fry plantains until golden brown. The plantains will be rather mushy - they're supposed to be.
  6. They will be sweet - the riper the plantains, the sweeter they will be. If you prefer them sweeter, you can sprinkle with sugar before cooking.
