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.

I'm not a big fan of plantains, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The sweetness of the plantains was balanced out nicely by the cinnamon and sugar topping.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my plantains didn't turn out as sweet as I expected.

The plantains were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

Absolutely delicious! The plantains were perfectly caramelized and the cinnamon and sugar topping was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making these again.
