Ingredients
4 ripe plantains
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Heat the butter to foaming in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices to the butter and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and slightly caramelized. Sprinkle the plantain slices with the sugar, allow the sugar to caramelize slightly, then remove the plantains from the skillet. Serve warm.
- These plantain slices are also particularly good when served over vanilla ice cream, topped with the caramelized butter from the pan.
