How To Make Maduros (Sweet Fried Plantains)

Peel the ripe plantains, which should be easy to do due to their ripeness.

Cut the plantains on a bias into slices.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Fry the plantain slices until they are golden and soft, keeping an eye on the oil temperature to prevent burning.

Drain the fried plantains on paper towels after cooking.

Optionally, for a dessert variation, sauté the plantains quickly in a little butter.
