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.

This recipe is a fail. The plantains were mushy and the sauce was too runny.

The plantains didn't caramelize properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The plantains were a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices next time.

These plantains were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I love this recipe! The plantains are crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. The caramelized sugar adds a delicious sweetness.
