Fried Plantain Slices

Ingredients

• Green plantains
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Peel the plantain and cut off both ends.

2. Thinly slice the plantain into ¼ - ½ inch rounds.

3. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat keeping a close watch on it.

4. Once the oil sizzles when a slice of plantain is added, add several plantain slices and brown them for about 2 minutes on each side.

5. Transfer them to towels to drain the excess oil.

6. On a cutting board, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a flat round.

7. Add the flattened rounds into the oil once again and brown on each side for a minute more on each side.

8. Drain again on the towels, add salt and pepper and serve at once.
