Peel the ripe plantains and slice them thickly on the diagonal.
Heat 4 tablespoons sunflower oil over medium heat.
Place the slices in the pan in a single layer; if the sugary surfaces overlap, they stick and the crust tears.
Cook each side for 4 minutes, until browned and caramelized.
💡 Tip: Do not slice the plantains too thinly; the outside browns while the inside stays soft.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot while the edges are caramelized.
