How to Make Sauted Plantains With Sweet Spices

  1. Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced plantains with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Toss gently to coat the plantains evenly with spices.
  3. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add half of the spiced plantains to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender, flipping gently once.
  5. Repeat with the remaining plantains, adding more butter and oil to the skillet if needed.
  6. Serve the sautéed plantains hot. Enjoy as a side dish or a light dessert!
