Fried Plantains With Powdered Sugar...and Rum image

You will probably purchase green plantains, let them ripen to the yellow/brown/black stage. Rum is optional, but very delicious in the recipe and served with the recipe. (They look like huge fat long green bananas)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ripe plantains, peeled, sliced 5 long slices each plantain
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
powdered sugar
3 -4 tablespoons dark puerto rican rum (optional)
nutmeg
salt
toothpick
whipped cream (optional) or Cool Whip (optional)

Steps:

  • In large fry pan, add 1 tblsp oil. Heat oil to medium stage and lay each strip in the pan.(Fry 1 plantain in each batch). When the strips start to turn a golden brown, flip then over and add a little more oil.Fry the other side until golden and brown.
  • There will not be much oil left in the pan.
  • Sprinkle a little rum over the strips if desired.
  • Sprinkle a little nutmeg on one side.
  • A dash of salt on the strips.
  • Take out the strips and place on a warm plate. Keep warm in a 250° oven.
  • Fry the second batch. Follow the steps.
  • Fry the third batch. Follow the steps.
  • When the frying is completed, take out the plates. Cut the strips in half of the length. Roll up and secure with toothpick.
  • Place back on plate.
  • Let the strips cool, then take out the toothpicks. The plantains will hold the rolled shape.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving. You can serve warm or cold, but if you serve warm the powdered sugar will soak in and you have have to pass separate powdered sugar, I pass a separate sifter after serving and each person can sift their own sugar on their serving.

I'm not a big fan of plantains, but I have to admit that these fried plantains with powdered sugar and rum were pretty good.

I thought these fried plantains were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fried plantains turned out mushy. They didn't have the crispy texture that I was expecting.

I thought these fried plantains were just okay. They were a bit too greasy for my taste.

These fried plantains were amazing! I loved the combination of the sweet powdered sugar and the boozy rum. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

I was disappointed with these fried plantains. They were soggy and the powdered sugar and rum didn't really add much flavor.

These fried plantains were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less powdered sugar next time.

I've made fried plantains before, but this recipe was by far the best. The plantains were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The powdered sugar and rum were the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a huge fan of plantains, but I have to admit that these fried plantains with powdered sugar and rum were pretty darn good. The sweetness of the powdered sugar and the boozy flavor of the rum really complemented the plantains well.

These fried plantains were a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the sweet and savory combination of the powdered sugar and rum. I'll definitely be making them again.
