heat the olivio or butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat (plantains can burn easily if heat is too high) and fry the plantains in a single layer, wiating for the first side to get golden brown before flipping to brown the other side.

after browning the 2nd side, add cinnamon and vanilla and brown sugar and let cook for a few more seconds to carmelize the sugar.
