Fried Plantain

Golden Fried Plantain

Indulge in the sweet, caramelized perfection of our fried plantain, a beloved West African side dish and snack that's both simple and irresistible. Each piece of ripe plantain is carefully sliced and fried until golden brown, creating a crispy exterior that gives way to a soft, sweet, and tender interior.

What Makes It Special

We use only perfectly ripe plantains - when the skin is yellow with black spots - to ensure maximum natural sweetness. Each plantain is sliced into thick rounds or diagonal pieces and fried in clean, fresh oil until they achieve that beautiful golden-brown color and caramelized edges. The result is a delightful balance of textures - crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, with no added sugar needed.
