Method:

Slice the peeled plantains at a bias (at an angle), about 12mm thick. Set the sliced plantains aside on a plate or small baking tray.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the plantain slices and fry, working in batches, and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the plantains until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Use a slotted spoon or spatula to gently flip the plantains while frying; careful not to handle them too aggressively as they’re super tender.

If you notice your plantains are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. When done the plantains should be caramelized on the outside with a buttery centre.

Drain the fried plantains on kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil. Serve the plantains immediately as a snack or alongside your favourite main entrees.

If seasoning the plantains mix your choice of seasoning with the sugar then sprinkle over both sides of the plantains.
