almost fried plantains   virtually fat free
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
using medium-high heat , pre-heat a non stick skillet
place plantains in a single layer in the pan
add water just until it covers the bottom half of the plantains
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
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
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
stop eating the plantains while you're cooking
