Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Plantains.
Step 1
Start by heating a generous amount of oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers with excitement.
Step 2
While the oil warms up, take your ripe plantains and peel them with care, revealing their vibrant yellow flesh.
Step 3
Next, cut each plantain in half crosswise, and then slice each half lengthwise into thin, even pieces.
Step 4
This is where the magic begins! Once your oil is hot and ready, gently add the plantain slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching as they transform into a beautiful golden brown, crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside.
Step 6
When they reach that perfect color, use a slotted spoon to lift them out of the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 7
This will help soak up any excess oil, leaving you with deliciously crispy fried plantains that are ready to be enjoyed.
Step 8
Whether as a snack or a side dish, these little bites of joy are sure to impress!.
