Plantain Chips Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in small batches. Fry until they turn golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade lightly salted plantain chips!
