Fried Plantains

Fried plantains are a delightful and versatile dish, perfect for a Vegan Spanish breakfast. Their sweet and savory flavor pairs wonderfully with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients

• Ripe plantains - 2 medium
• Vegetable oil - 100 ml
• Salt - to taste
• Lime - 1 (for garnish)

Steps

1. Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-2 cm thick pieces.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the plantain slices in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
