For the best flavor, use plantains that are very ripe; their skins should be mostly black. Don't overcrowd the pan. Work in batches to ensure even caramelization. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar. Serve these plantains alongside grilled meats, rice and beans, or as a sweet treat on their own.
