Plantain Chips

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

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

3. 3

   Place slices in the oil carefully, and fry them for 3 to 5 minutes.

4. 4

   If you want them crispier, keep them in for more like 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Dont let them burn or turn brown in the oil, they wont have the same flavor.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   They are ready right away!

   Enjoy!
