Ingredients
-
¼ cup peanut oil for frying
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
3 yellow plantains (very ripe), peeled and cut in 1-inch-thick slices
-
3 tablespoons brown sugar
-
¼ teaspoon salt (Optional)
Directions
-
Round up all your ingredients, and heat peanut oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter begins to sizzle.
-
Gently toss plantain slices with brown sugar, then place into hot oil. Fry until plantains begin to turn golden brown, then turn over, and continue frying until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Drain plantains on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt before serving.
Editor's Note:
