Almost Fried Plantains - Virtually Fat Free Recipe

Directions:

1. Peel plantain and slice 1/4 inch thick on a slight diagonal. This will give you oblong slices that are easy to handle while cooking.
2. Using medium-high heat, pre-heat a non stick skillet.
3. Place plantains in a single layer in the pan. Add water just until it covers the bottom half of the plantains.
4. Reduce heat a small amount and cook 2 or 3 minutes until the water evaporates. Your plantains should begin to have a softer texture and more translucent quality.
5. Lightly spray the tops of the plaintains with cooking spray and turn over. Cook an additional minute or so until you get a lovely, slightly crispy brown exterior on the plantains.
6. Give the tops another quick spray of oil and turn over again. Cook the first side a minute or so until it too has browned a bit.
7. Stop eating the plantains while you're cooking. :-).
8. Serve.
