Platanos Maduros Fritos (Fried Ripe Plantains)


Another fried plantain side dish. This time, you let the plantain ripen until they turn black before frying, which makes them sweet. Goes well with rice-based dishes.

MADUROS


Time: 5 minutes
Makes about 5-6 servings per plantain

Ingredients: Ripe Plantain(s)

Prep: Allow the plantain(s) to ripen fully, basically until it turns black. It is best to buy a yellow plantain, then leave in a bag for 5-7 days, checking each day.

Directions:

  • Peel the plantain and cut at an angle for longer slices.
  • Fry them in a pan with at least an inch of oil (or a deep fryer) until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Dry on absorbent paper towel
  • Serve immediately

 

Notes & Comments:

  • I like cooking them until they edges burn slightly and get crispy, it's my favorite part.
