Instructions

Preparation

Peel the 2 ripe plantains.
Slice the plantains in half lengthwise, then slice each half lengthwise again into smaller, roughly equal pieces.

Caramelization

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a good quality non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer in the pan, flat side down.
Cook for several minutes until the bottoms are nicely browned and caramelized.
Gently flip the plantains and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and caramelized. The plantains should be soft and sticky.

Serving Suggestions

Remove from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy these caramelized plantains as a snack with milk or tea, or as a delicious accompaniment to pancakes or crepes. They're also wonderful stuffed into crepes with a little peanut butter!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfectly Caramelized Plantains

Use ripe, fully yellow plantains for maximum sweetness. The riper, the better!
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Medium-low heat is ideal for even caramelization.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom during the last few minutes of cooking.
