Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off both ends of the green plantains and make a lengthwise slit down the peel. Gently remove the peel from each plantain and discard.

Slice the Plantains
Cut the peeled plantains into thick slices, about 1 inch wide. You should have approximately 20 slices total.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers and reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

Drain the Plantains
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried plantains to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season the Plantains
While the plantains are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
