Platanos Maduros... Cuban style fried sweet plantains. The trick is to to let your plantains ripen to a nice black- the darker the more sweet... if not they will be starchy and unsweet like a potato. As found on my blog: http://just-call-me-t.blogspot.com/2011/07/bananarama.html

How To Make platanos maduros

Step 1

Cover pan 1/4 inch with Canola oil and set to medium. Slice ripened plantains at an angle, about 1/4 - 1/2 inch each. NOTE: You have to let your plantains ripen to a nice black- the darker the more sweet... if not they will be starchy and unsweet like a potato.

Step 2

Fry plantains until carmalized- turning over once. Set them on a paper towel to absorb the oil. Eat as is- no need for sugar they are sweet enough!
