Plantain Chips

Peel the plantains using a knife (they will not peel easily the “normal” way, being so green) then slice them very thin with a mandoline or the slice side of a box grater.

Pour oil in heavy duty pan (I like using my cast-iron pan) until 3/4 to 1 inch high and heat up to 350ºF (medium to medium-high).

Place slices in the oil carefully, and fry them for 3 to 5 minutes. If you want them crispier, keep them in for more like 5 minutes. Don’t let them burn or turn brown in the oil, they won’t have the same flavor.

Remove the chips and place on a paper bag (to soak up the oil) and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.

They are ready right away! Enjoy!
