Platanos or plantains are cooking bananas. They are extremely popular in South America and the Caribbean. This easy plantain side dish adds a nice sweetness to any meal. Use plantains with heavy black spotting to a fully black skin. Try it in place of a potato side dish with your meal, you’ll like it!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup peanut oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 yellow plantains (very ripe), peeled and cut in 1-inch-thick slices
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Round up all your ingredients, and heat peanut oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter begins to sizzle.
Step 2
Gently toss plantain slices with brown sugar, then place into hot oil. Fry until plantains begin to turn golden brown, then turn over, and continue frying until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 3
Drain plantains on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt before serving.
