Maduros-Fried Sweet Plantain - The Vegan Rhino

Yield 3

Ingredients

2 yellow/black plantains, 3/4-inch thick diagonal slices (Plátanos amarillos)

1/4 cup avocado oil, for frying

Sprinkle Himalayan Pink salt

 

Directions

  1. Slice ends and 1 long slice through the skin only. Peel back and slice in 3/4-inch thick diagonal slices.
  2. In a skillet on medium-high heat with oil, pan fry the plantain slices for roughly 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set on a towel to drain and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Serve warm with rice and black beans or side of choice.

 

Chef’s tip: For extra soft and golden brown maduros, reduce the heat to low after browning each side and cook for 6 minutes.
