Fried Sweet Plantains (Platanos Maduros)

These by far have to be the favorite to many. When the bright green plantain turns yellow and spotted with black spots, or even black all together. This sweet treat is always served with various Cuban and Puerto Rican dishes.

Ingredients:

Plantains cut on a bias
enough vegetable oil to cover the plantains halfway.

 

Cut plantains on a bias

Heat oil in a heavy bottom skillet. Add plantains and cook for 1 min each side.

Remove plantains and turn down the heat to low. Add the plantains back into the oil and cook for 5 mins each side.

Note you can roll plantains in white or brown sugar before frying.

Sorry I don't have a final photo, I was distracted by a baby and a hungry husband.
