Fried Sweet Plantains
Fried sweet plantain slices are one of my favorite Venezuelan side dishes. Sweet ripe bananas that become soft and gooey when fried. Just add a bit of cheese and butter for an explosion of flavor!
Servings: 4 people (as a side dish)
Ingredients
- 2 big yellow ripe plantains
- Enough vegetable oil to fry (I use sunflower oil)
- Pinch of salt
- Shredded white cheese (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Cut the ends of the plantains and peel them.
- Cut the peeled plantains into diagonal slices.
- In a big pan, add enough oil to cover the slices. Heat the oil over medium heat.
- Fry the plantain slices until they are brown, flip to cook the other side.
- Let the fried sweet plantains rest over absorbent paper and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Serve with some shredded white cheese on top
