Equipment

Ingredients

1 Plantain (ripe and firm)
Cooking oil

Instructions

Prepare the plantains.
First, peel the plantain and ensure that it is firm enough to be thinly sliced. The best way to do this is to use the V-Blade Slicer to get evenly and thinly sliced plantains.
You can also use a knife or peeler to manually slice the plantain to your preferred sizes and styles. Plantain chips can be made in the usual round version or in a horizontal and flat version.
Heat the oil over a stove.
Pour sunflower oil in a pot that’s deep enough to deep fry.
Deep-fry the plantain.
Let the plantain slices drop onto the oil. The oil is at the right temperature when the plantain floats back to the surface of the oil. Toss the chips while they are frying to allow them to fry all over until golden.
Transfer to a tray lined with a kitchen towel to get rid of any excess oil and leave to cool for extra crunchiness.

Notes

Drop the plantain slices directly into the preheated oil to avoid clumps.
Allow them to cool at room temperature to add crispiness and crunchiness.

The best way to fry plantains is to put them directly into the heated oil to fry immediately after slicing. Don’t gather them in a bowl anymore because this can lead to clumped plantain chips.
