Cooking Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Plantains

With a sharp knife, make an incision along the full length of each plantain.
Slide your finger along the cut to carefully remove the skin.

Step 2: Slice the Plantains

Cut the plantains into ¼-inch thick pieces at a 45-degree angle for an attractive presentation.

Step 3: Fry to Perfection

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers.
Gently place the plantain slices into the oil and fry until the edges turn light brown.
Flip the slices once the edges brown and fry for an additional minute.

Step 4: Drain and Serve

Remove the fried plantain slices and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
