Preparation
- 1
Peel the Plantains
Carefully slice off both ends of each green plantain. Make a shallow cut along the length of the plantain skin, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Gently peel the skin off to reveal the plantain.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the plantain slices halfway.

Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
