A popular way to eat these is to pan-fry the sweet banana-like slices until they are warm and tender. They are abundant all over the Caribbean and can be found now in most grocery stores. From Food and Wine Magazine in their section "For More Party Ideas."

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup vegetable oil
6 very ripe plantains, peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices (about 3/4 pound each)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In 2 very large nonstick skillets, heat the oil until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the plantains in a single layer over moderate heat, approximately 7 to 8 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until deep golden and tender. Drain the plantains on a paper towel-lined rack and, if desired, sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm.
  • Make ahead: The plantains can be fried early in the day and kept at room temperature. Reheat in a warm oven and sprinkle with the optional salt before serving.

These fried sweet plantains were a huge disappointment. They were soggy and bland. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my plantains didn't turn out as crispy as I wanted them to be. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These fried sweet plantains were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I love this recipe! The plantains are always crispy and delicious. I also like that I can make them ahead of time and reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

These fried sweet plantains were so easy to make, and they turned out crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. I will definitely be making them again.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had some overripe plantains that I didn't know what to do with, and this recipe turned them into a delicious snack.
