Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 firm (ripe plantains)
- olive oil or avocado oil
- seasoned salt or salt and pepper
Instructions
- Peel the plantains and discard the skins. Slice the plantains diagonally into oval discs that are about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly season the plantains with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet warm about 1/2-inch of oil over medium heat. If using a deep-fry thermometer, it should read 340 degrees F. You can also test the oil with a small piece of plantain. The oil is ready when the plantain bubbles in the oil.
- Place the plantains in the oil. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fried plantains are a rich golden brown. When ready transfer plantains to a large plate lined with paper towels or parchment paper.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.
If you’re making several batches in the same skillet, make sure to add a little oil between batches. Let the oil warm up before cooking the next batch.
To keep warm place cooked plantains on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 225 degree F oven.
