Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Frying Station: Set up your deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with vegetable oil. Ensure there's enough oil to fully submerge the plantain slices. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Fry the Plantains: Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. (4 minutes per batch)

03

Step

Drain and Season: Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the fried plantain chips from the oil and place them on a large bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt to taste while they are still warm. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Serve and Enjoy: Allow the plantain chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them immediately for the best crispy texture.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or garlic powder along with the salt.
To ensure even cooking, slice the plantains uniformly. A mandoline slicer can be helpful.
Store leftover plantain chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispiness. They are best enjoyed within 2-3 days.

    Be careful not to overcrowd the fryer, or the chips will be soggy.
