Ingredients
- 3 green plantains
- 1.5 cups vegetable or canola oil or as needed
- 1 tablespoon salt plus more as needed
- Juice of 1 lime
- For Serving. Sauce/dip options here.
Instructions
- Slice off the ends of the plantains, then carefully slice through the peel. Remove the peel and discard. Slice the plantains into 1 inch pieces.
- Fill a large Dutch oven or pot with 2.5 inches vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You can also use your fryer.
- Fry the plantains in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until tender but not crisp.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Flatten each fried plantain using a small pan, heavy spatula, or the bottom of a large bottle. Don’t thin too much or they can fall apart.
- Return to the hot oil and fry each piece again for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with sea salt, lime juice, and serve.
