Ingredients
- 1 green plantain
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Slice the plantain with a sharp knife.
- Use the tip of the knife to remove the peel off the plantain slices.
- Heat up the oil in a deep frying pan set over a medium heat, and fry the plantain slices until golden.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
- Use a glass to smash each fried plantain chip, then fry them again until crispy.
- Remove them from the pan, season with sea salt and serve immediately.
Notes
- The plantains fry really quickly the second time they go in, it is crucial therefore to have all the chips smashed and ready to fry, so you can work quickly.
- Work in batches, even if the frying pan is large enough, if you fry them all at the same time, chances are you won't be able to remove them all quickly enough and they might burn or turn brown rather than a lovely golden colour.
