3 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • About 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds green plantains
  • Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer; an adjustable-blade slicer or Y-shaped vegetable peeler

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat 1 inch oil to 375°F in a 4- to 5-quarts heavy pot over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, cut ends from (unpeeled) plantains, then halve plantains crosswise. Cut a lengthwise slit through peel and discard peel. Cut plantains lengthwise into very thin slices (less than 1/16 inch thick) with slicer.
  3. 3
    Fry plantains in batches of 10 to 12 slices, turning frequently, until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Drain on paper towels, immediately seasoning each batch with salt. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
