Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe plantain
  • Frying Oil

Instructions
 

  • Peel the plantain and cut diagonally into even pieces, approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick.
  • Heat oil in a pan over low to medium heat until it reaches frying temperature and carefully add the plantain pieces to the hot oil, making sure not overcrowded in the pan.
  • Fry the plantains on both sides until they turn golden brown. The longer they cook, the more they will caramelize.
  • Remove the maduros from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot y buen provecho!
