Ingredients
- 1 ripe plantain
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon or nutmeg
Directions
Peel plantain by making 2 incisions on opposite sides of the plantain skin and then peel.
Slice the plantains into 2 in the middle (width not length - like breaking a banana in 2).
Cut up both pieces of plantains into 1/4 inch slices longways.
Heat skillet filled with just enough oil to cover the 1/4 inch slices.
Fry plantain slices until golden brown on each side.
Each slice needs about 45 seconds to a minute to cook.
Be careful not to burn.
Place cooked plantain in a dish layered with napkins so as to drain/soak up the oil.
Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.
