Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Peanut oil, for frying
3 firm green plantains
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup water
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel the plantains and slice them into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Put the plantains into the fryer and fry until just golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir the garlic and the water together in a medium bowl. Remove the plantains from the fryer and drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray. With the smooth side of a meat mallet, smash the plantain until it's flattened. Add them to the garlic water and let them soak for 1 minute. Remove the plantains from the water and pat dry with paper towels. Return to the fryer and continue to fry until golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes. Transfer the plantains to a serving bowl and season with salt. Serve hot.

The plantains were a little too expensive for my taste. I think I would try finding a cheaper recipe next time.

The plantains were not cooked all the way through. I think I would try cooking them for a little longer next time.

The plantains were a little too bland for my taste. I think I would try adding some spices next time.

The plantains were not crispy enough for my taste. I think I would try frying them for a little longer next time.

The plantains were a little too sweet for my liking. I think I would try using less sugar next time.

These fried plantains were a little too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit. The plantains are crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. I like to serve them with a spicy dipping sauce.

I love fried plantains! They are so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce made from sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro.
