What each ingredient does
- Plantains
- Starchy fruit that caramelises and softens into a sweet, tender interior when fried.
- Vegetable oil
- Conducts heat to brown the plantain surface and crisp the outside evenly.
The step that matters
Fry in batches. Crowding the pan drops the oil temperature, so plantains steam and turn soggy instead of browning. Frying in small batches keeps the oil hot enough for a golden, crisp surface.
