  • 2 Plantains whole - sliced diagonal
  • 2 cups Frying oil

Instructions

  • Wash and peel plantains

  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the plantains.
  • Plantains cook very quickly, make sure to turn them before they burn. Cook until golden brown on each side.

  • Place the cooked plantain on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve warm.
