FRIED PLANTAINS WITH CINNAMON SUGAR

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

* 4 cups Mazola® Corn Oil or Vegetable Oil
* 2-3 green plantains
* 1 teaspoon Spice Islands® ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons sugar

1. Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or large deep skillet.


2. While oil is heating, peel and thinly slice plantains lengthwise. Fry slices in 2 or 3 batches to avoid crowding.


3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Remove using tongs and place on paper towels to drain.


4. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar. Turn to coat both sides. Serve immediately.


5. Note: These crisp plantains are great as a snack and also work as a delicious garnish for ice cream.
