Ingredients
2
green plantains
-- peeled
1/2
cup
melted coconut oil
-- you may need more or less depending on the size of your frying pan
Sea salt to taste
-- or another seasoning of your choice such as chipotle powder or paprika
Instructions
Peel each plantain by first cutting off the ends and scoring the plantain skin lengthwise in several places, then peel
Take each peeled plantain and cut diagonally into thin slices
Heat a shallow layer of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat
Carefully place the slices in the hot oil (don't overcrowd the pan). The slices should gently sizzle and move around if the temperature's right
Fry the slices 2 minutes or less per side – when they turn a golden color and have a little brown around the edges, they're done
Remove chips with a spatula or perforated spoon, and place on paper towels to drain
SALT IMMEDIATELY after removal to assure the salt sticks to the chips
Enjoy soon after cooking for maximum crispiness
