Plantains - Sweet

  • 3

Ingredients

  • 3 medium overripe plantains (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 3/4-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Salt
  • 3/4 cup coconut or peanut oil

Preparation

Step 1

Put the plantains and brown sugar in a medium bowl, and season with salt. Toss to coat the plantains evenly with the sugar.

Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the plantains and adjust the heat so the oil bubbles gently. Cook, turning once, until the plantains are fully tender and deeply browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain on a plate, and serve hot or warm.
