Ingredients
- 3 large ripe plantains*
- oil for frying
- Plantains have black skins when ripe.
Directions
1
Peel and slice the plantains. Depending on the desired result, the plantains can be sliced into thin rounds, cut into coarse dice, or cut lengthwise in strips. While the plantains are being cut up, heat the oil to 350 - 375°F in a heavy skillet.
2
When the oil is hot, add the plantain pieces a few at a time. Cook until the edges are brown and crispy. Turn and cook on the other side. Remove and drain on absorbent paper. Cook the remainder of the plantains in the same manner.
3
Serve warm. Depending on whether you wish your plantains to be snack, an accompaniment to vegetables, or a dessert, you may sprinkle them with salt, chile powder, or powdered sugar.
