For the best results, use plantains that are very ripe – the peel should be mostly black. These will be the sweetest and will caramelize beautifully. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy plantains. Work in batches for best results. If you prefer a softer texture, you can fry the plantains for a shorter amount of time. For crispier plantains, fry them a little longer. A sprinkle of sea salt after frying enhances the sweetness and adds a delightful contrast.
