Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry bananas in a frying pan? Prepare your food. Take one banana per serving. Choose ripe but firm fruits. Overripe ones can become very soft when fried. Butter, even if there is only a little of it, choose the best quality, without vegetable additives, the taste of caramel will depend on its taste. I used brown sugar, but you can use regular white sugar. Add cinnamon as desired.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the bananas well, as their skins are very dirty, and when peeling, dirt can get into the flesh. Then dry them with a towel. Peel the bananas and then slice. The cutting method can be any — like mine, halves, quarters, wheels, or whatever you like.

Step 3

Step 3
Take a frying pan, if possible with a thick bottom and non-stick coating. Place it on low heat. Place oil on it. Melt it while stirring constantly.

Step 4

Step 4
Add sugar and cinnamon to butter. Stir and leave the mixture on the fire until the sugar dissolves. Do not leave the stove, the oil may start to burn, so you need to stir the caramel and keep the heat low.

Step 5

Step 5
Once the caramel begins to boil, add the sliced bananas. Fry them on both sides until golden.

Step 6

Step 6
Once one side is done, flip the bananas over to the other side. They will become very soft, be careful. Remove the finished bananas to a plate.

Step 7

Step 7
Serve fried plantains any way you like — hot, warm or cold. When serving, pour the resulting caramel over them. You can add chopped nuts and berries to them; it will be very tasty to serve ice cream with hot bananas. Fried bananas are also a good addition to other dishes — cereals, puddings, desserts. Bon appetit!
