Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe plantains (the darker the skin, the sweeter they will be)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Peel and cut each ripe plantain diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the sliced plantains for 2-3 minutes per side until they're golden brown and the edges are crispy.
  • Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season them with salt. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
