This is a super simple, easy to prepare yet so tasty recipe. I love to eat ripe plantains, in all different ways - steam them, make them fritters and roast them like this. There are even more complicated recipes with ripe plantains. For those who grew up eating plantains (especially from Kerala),you know the place of plantain in our hearts! Back in my home state in India, plantains are roasted in ghee with sugar and served as a snack for kids. Back then, I didn't know it had a fancy name like this, "caramelized plantains."
This recipe is for ripe plantain, with yellow skin and squishy, as shown in the picture.

Ingredients:
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Plantains - 2 Nos , medium, peeled and sliced into half inch thickness
Oil/ghee (clarified butter) - 2 tablespoons (ghee gives more fragrant output!)
Brown sugar/granular sugar - 1-2 teaspoon
Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Mix sugar and plantain slices together. Turn the heat to medium and add the plantains to fry on one side for 4-5 minutes. Repeat the same for other side. Do not let them smoke, or they would taste bitter. That is it!
These are great for snacking, or for breakfast and keep you full for a long time and it is guilt free! Every time I eat them, I realize how much I love to eat these.
