HOW TO MAKE SWEET PLANTAIN STRIPS (PAPITA)

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat option.

Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into strips or diagonal slices.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Carefully add the plantain strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry the plantains until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle with salt, sugar, and cinnamon while still warm.

Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
