Recipe Tips

  • The plantains should be ripe, with black spots on the skin. This will ensure that they are sweet and tender when cooked.
  • Make sure that the oil is hot enough before adding the plantain slices. If the oil is not hot enough, the plantains will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Use a spatula to flip the plantain slices. This will ensure that they are evenly cooked on both sides.
  • Remove any excess oil from the plantain slices by placing them on a paper towel. This will make them crispy and delicious.
  • Sprinkle salt over the plantain slices to taste. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.
