Equipment

Ingredients

2 plantains (ripe)
2 eggs
½ cup plain flour
½ cup breadcrumbs
vegetable oil (enough to deep-fry)
1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the plantains.
Peel them by chopping off the ends and making a vertical incision along the fruit. Slice it into pieces according to your preferred shape and size.
Make the egg wash.
Whisk the egg and season it with salt in a container. Set it aside.
Coat the plantains.
Coat the plantain slices in flour and dip them into the egg wash. Then, coat them with breadcrumbs. Place them on a plate to allow the coating to set.
Fry.
Lower the coated plantains into hot oil in a pan. Deep fry over medium heat. The oil should sizzle once you put in the plantains. Wait until they are golden brown. Transfer them to a lined plate. Serve it with your favorite sauce or stew!

Notes

Make sure to use ripe plantains for sweetness.
If you don’t have breadcrumbs, dip the plantains twice in flour and eggs.
Air fry or bake the plantains for less oil intake.
The sogginess may be due to excessive oil and not shaking off the excess oil. Ensure that the oil is hot before frying them.
