Maduros
Caramelized sweet plantains served as a versatile side dish or base that pairs with savory proteins, fresh toppings, and bold sauces. Naturally sweet, crispy-edged, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
Method
Peel plantains: cut off ends, slice lengthwise, and peel away the thick skin. Cut each plantain diagonally into ¼-inch-thick slices.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Working in batches if needed, fry plantain slices 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized at the edges. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Sprinkle warm plantain slices with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange maduros on a serving plate. Top with your choice of cooked protein, sauce, fresh herbs, cheese, and fresh vegetables.
Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and serve warm. Offer additional sauce and toppings on the side for guests to customize.
