Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
    3 plantains, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
    salt to taste
    garlic powder to taste

Preparation

  • Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with 1-1/2 inch of vegetable oil until hot enough that the oil sizzles when a plantain is added. Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.

    Cut plantains diagonally into 1-inch slices. Fry the plantains in batches until tender and just golden, 2 to 3 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

    While the plantain slices are still warm, place them one at a time between two sheets of wax paper, and flatten by hand to 1/4 inch thick. Return flattened slices to the skillet, and continue frying until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and season with salt and garlic powder.
