About This Recipe
Perfectly caramelized fried sweet plantains, or platanos maduros, are fried until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Made with just ripe plantains and cooking fat, they make a perfect side dish for any meal. Naturally gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe plantains ((about 10.5 ounces without the skin))
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice plantains into 1/2-1 inch rounds. Cut off the ends. Using a knife, make a vertical slit down the middle of your plantain. Be careful not to cut through the plantain. Using your hands, peel away the skin. Cut 1/2-1 inch rounds at a slight angle.
- Cook plantains. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat, add butter and let it melt. Add plantains in a single layer, spreading out evenly in the pan and allowing some room between them. You may need to make them in two batches depending on how big your pan is. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2-3 minutes, until tender, golden brown, and caramelized. If desired, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Enjoy! Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!
