Directions

Step 1
Peel the ripe plantains. Slice them into desired shapes – rounds, diagonal cuts, or cubes work well.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying (a small piece of plantain should sizzle immediately).
Step 3
Carefully add plantain slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and caramelized.
Step 4
Remove fried plantains with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt if desired.
Step 5
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
