📝 Ingredients

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Ends: Use a knife to chop both ends off the 1 large Plantain.
2. 2Score a line down the skin using a knife.
3. 3Peel: Unwrap the peel away from the plantain.
4. 4Half: Cut the plantain in half at a sharp angle.
5. 5Slice: Continue cutting both halves at ½ cm slices following that angle. Place the vegetable oil in a frying pan and heat until it becomes very hot. If you have a thermometer it should reach 350℉ / 176℃. I like to use enough Vegetable oil to partially submerge the plantain slices. You can shallow fry or deep fry instead.
6. 6Oil: Once the oil is hot, gently add the sliced plantain be careful it doesn't splash
7. 7Fry: Turn regularly using a metal utensil or fork.
8. 8Brown: Cook until browned
9. 9Paper: Once cooked remove from pan onto a plate lined with kitchen paper towel.
10. 10Salt: The kitchen paper towel helps to remove excess oil. Sprinkle with Salt Flakes.
