Plantain Chips Ingredients
Method
Plantain Chips Directions
- 1
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the green plantains and slice them thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. Aim for uniform thickness for even cooking.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a slice of plantain; it should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Fry the Plantains
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- 4
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried plantains from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings like paprika or garlic powder, if desired.
- 5
Cool and Serve
Allow the plantain chips to cool completely before serving. They can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or served with dips.
