Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 3 ripe plantains they should be soft but firm, not mushy, but completely yellow with some black spots
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus more for adding to the pan
- salt to taste optional
Instructions
- start by peeling and slicing your plantain into slices approximately 1/8 inch thick. the thinner you slice them, the crispier a chip you will have!
- heat up two tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, over medium heat.
- once hot, place your plantain slices evenly all around the pan (do not layer on top of each other).
- fry for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown edges appear. proceed to flip and fry for another 3-4 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
- remove and plate, repeating the process with more plantain slices, and adding extra virgin olive oil as needed-- there should always be a layer in the pan.
- add salt if desired. serve warm or cold.
