Smashed Caramelized Plantains

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ripe plantains
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 stick butter
4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Pinch salt
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Cut ends off plantains, peel and slice in half lengthwise. Set 2 large nonstick saute pans over medium-high heat and add oil and 2 tablespoons butter into each pan. Add plantains and cook for 10 minutes - you don't want to move it too frequently otherwise it won't caramelize as well, flipping halfway. Once you flip the plantains, sprinkle with light brown sugar (depending on the ripeness/sweetness of the plantains, adjust the sugar amount) and salt. The plantains should be nice and golden. Squeeze with fresh lime juice just before serving.
