Ingredients
3 large extra ripe plantains, peeled and sliced on a bias about 1/2-inch thick
1/2 cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil such as canola, avocado, or grapeseed oil
1/2 teaspoon of homemade or store-bought seasoning such as seasoned salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon packed brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
1-First, peel the ripe plantains carefully and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces for even frying.
2-Second, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 350°F (175°C).
3-Third, add the plantain slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to cook evenly.
4-Fourth, fry the plantains for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and caramelized.
5-Fifth, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried plantains to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6-Final step: Sprinkle with optional seasoning and brown sugar, then serve warm as a snack or side.
