Recipe Instructions


Kitchen Safety Tips:

Always use a pot holder!

Let people in your home know that you will be using the stove.

Use the claw method when using a knife to avoid any accidents.

Step 1: Prep

Prep your cutting station with a damp cloth and cutting board.

Remove skins from plantains.

Chop into disks. The thickness is your preference!

Line a plate with a paper towel.

Step 2: Heat Oil

Heat your oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

You want the oil to be about 350°

To test the oil, toss a pinch of flour into the oil. If it bubbles and cracks, it is ready! If it just floats, test again in a few minutes.

Step 3: Fry

Carefully place plantain chips in hot oil and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, using tongs to flip.

Cook until your desired color and crispiness.

Step 4: Finish

Once plantain chips are cooked to your liking, use tongs to place onto your paper towel lined plate.

Sprinkle with salt.

Step 5: More!

Repeat the frying process until you have made your desired amount of chips.

For something more sweet, try sprinkling with some cinnamon sugar!

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve and Enjoy!

These chips can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days.
