Preparation & cooking:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Heat up some cooking oil in a frying pan then gently drop plantain piece after piece into the hot oil but be careful not to over crowd the pan so the temperature of the oil doesn\u2019t drop. Fry on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can test using a toothpick or a skewer. It should come out clean. After baking, let it cool for few minutes before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
