1
Cut plantains into 1/2-1" pieces at an angle.

Fry in a generous amount of olive oil on medium-high heat until the first side has caramelized (brown, slightly black for sweeter plantains), then flip pieces with tongs to caramelize the other side. Transfer pieces to a plate covered with paper towels to remove excess oil.
