Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ripe plantains
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • 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.
