Equipment

  • Mandoline

Ingredients

  • 2 large green unripe plantains
  • salt fine
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Cut along the length of the plantain and then using your thumb, peel off the skin.
  • Using a mandoline, cut the plantain into round slices.
  • Heat some vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying.
  • Over medium heat, individually drop the slices of plantain into the hot oil and use a slotted spoon to move the slices around. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • The chips will be cooked in about 2-3 minutes. You will hear the chips' crunch as you move them around in the oil, a good sign that they are ready.
  • Drain them on a paper towel and then transfer into a bowl.
  • Salt according to taste and enjoy!
