Guatemalan Fritios (Fired Plantains)

  • 3 or 4 Plantains, they have to be completely yellow with black spots, the older they look the sweeter and better they taste
  • 1/2 cup Oil
  • Sugar & Cinnamon to taste

Peel and cut the plantains in a diagonal shape. Put oil in frying pan over medium heat. Check if oil is ready by placing a small piece of plantain, the oil should bubble up.

Fry them in the oil until they are brown on one side, then turn over and brown other side. You should only turn them once. They will be very soft. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to remove some of the oil.
