Since plantains take little preparation, they make a great snack. Delicious fried plantains also work great for dessert. Topping desserts with fried plantains is a great way to add flavor. Try topping your bowl of vanilla ice cream with a few pieces of some warm, bright-colored, sweet, fried plantain. Use your imagination to create some delicious, colorful creations of your own.
We typically use a small amount of coconut oil to fry our plantains. This keeps the nutrition value high and the fat and calories low.
Tip: We included the option to add sugar; however, we recommend trying them without sugar the first time. We usually do not add sugar. On occasion, we will add sugar for our guests visiting from the U.S., as they typically are accustomed to sugar being added to everything.
Add coconut oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Heat pan on medium (approximately setting 5).
Peel and slice the plantain into desired shapes and sizes. We enjoy the bite-size round version, but long strips work better for certain desserts.
Place the plantain pieces in the pan and fry approximately 4-8 minutes, or until the bottoms are bright yellow or slightly brown.
Flip the pieces and fry another 3-6 minutes. If you prefer your plantains darker and crispier, flip again and fry for an addition 1-2 minutes.
*OPTIONAL - Top with sugar and allow to carmelize
Remove from the pan. Place the pieces on a plate, and let cool 3-5 minutes.
Eat and enjoy!
