Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces green plantains
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Peel the green plantains by making a shallow cut along the length of the plantain and carefully removing the skin with your hands.
Slice the peeled plantains into very thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a mandolin slicer can help achieve uniform thickness, which is essential for even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add a few slices of plantain to the hot oil without crowding the pan, cooking in batches as necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried plantain chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the hot chips immediately with sea salt and garlic powder, tossing to ensure even seasoning.
Repeat frying and seasoning with the remaining plantain slices.
Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and crunch.
