Method

  1. Step 1

    Peel the plantains and slice lengthwise into quarters - long, flat, toast-shaped pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat until it foams.

  3. Step 3

    Lay the plantain slices flat and fry 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the edges go deep gold and caramelized.

  4. Step 4

    Salt them hot. Serve sweet with honey and butter, or savory under a fried egg, a scoop of pâté, or smoked fish.
