Sweet Recipe ⋆ Chef John's Fried Sweet Plantains

I think when you pair these with a simple plate of black beans and rice, you're talking about a super simple, very frugal, and very delicious dinner. I really hope you give them a try soon.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 very ripe plantains (about 3/4 pound each), peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
• salt to taste
• 1 lime, cut in wedges

Cooking Directions

1. Heat oil in a heavy-duty skillet over high heat. Place 4 to 5 plantain slices in a single layer in the pan and cook until golden brown and tender, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining plantain slices.
2. Sprinkle cooked plantains with salt and drizzle with lime.
