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.

I would not recommend this recipe. The fried plantains were greasy and overcooked.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The fried plantains were bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fried plantains didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying them for a little longer next time.

This is a great recipe for using up overripe plantains. They're still perfectly delicious, even if they're a little brown.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this recipe. The plantains are perfectly complemented by the cinnamon and sugar.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always comes out perfect. The plantains are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
