Cultural Context

Maduros, or sweet fried plantains, are a beloved side dish in Dominican cuisine, often served alongside meats or rice. This dish highlights the natural sweetness of ripe plantains, which are transformed through frying into a caramelized treat. Maduros are enjoyed throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, each region adding its own twist to this simple yet delicious preparation.

Peel the plantains and slice them into three parts, then cut each part into four pieces, resulting in about 12 pieces per plantain.

2

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

3

Add the sliced plantains to the hot oil and cook for 30 seconds to 60 seconds before turning them.

4

Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds to a minute on each side, being careful not to walk away as they cook quickly.

5

Remove the plantains from the oil and place them on a paper towel or a baking rack to drain excess oil.

6

Sprinkle salt over the hot plantains after removing them from the oil.
