Spicy Fried Plantains

== Description ==
A sweet and spicy version of the fried banana fritters is deep-fried and added with spices to perfection. Powdered sugar rarely works for this, too.
== Ingredients ==
* 4-6 plantain bananas slightly ripe, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
* ½ tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper
* ½ peeled, grated fresh ginger root
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 tbsp. water, lukewarm only
* 1-2 cups vegetable oil for frying
== Directions ==
# Grind together grated ginger root, pepper, and salt, and then mix with water. In a glass bowl, toss together the plantain cubes and spice mixture.
# In a deep skillet, heat oil up to 350° F. Fry plantains, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
# Drain on absorbent paper, keep in warmed oven until all the plantains are fried. Serve immediately.
