Fried Salvadorian Sweet Plantains

Ingredients

• 2 large very ripe (black) plantains – peeled

Steps

1. Cut each plantain into two halves and each half into 3 strips.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Gently lay plantain strips into hot oil; drizzle vanilla over plantains and season with cinnamon.
