Gather @plantain{4} and @vegetable oil{150%ml}.

Peel the plantains and slice on a slight diagonal into 1 cm ovals.

Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat until a test slice sizzles on contact.

Fry the slices in a single layer for 2–3 minutes until the undersides turn deep gold. ~{150%seconds}

Flip once and fry 2 minutes more, watching closely — the sugars go from caramel to burnt quickly. ~{2%minutes}

Drain on paper, hit with a small pinch of @salt{} and serve hot alongside jollof, beans or eggs.
