vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat option.

Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and making a slice down the middle.

Remove the skin from the plantains to reveal the flesh.

Cut the plantains into diagonal slices or straight cuts, as preferred.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add some oil and a pat of butter.

Drop the sliced plantains into the hot oil and butter mixture.

Fry the plantains, turning them over after a few minutes to ensure even browning.

Monitor the browning process, noting that the ripeness of the plantains affects how quickly they brown.

Once browned, remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on a plate.
