Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Unripened plantains 
  • Oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Cut the ends of the plantains, using a knife. Make three long cuts through the skin from the top to the bottom of the plantain on three different sides. Peel each slit off. 
  • Cut the plantain in chunks about 1-2 inches thick. 
  • Heat up your oil to about 375F. 
  • Place the cut plantains inside the oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes until they are gold. Remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Using a tostenera, or any flat object, smash the plantain flat, to about ¼ of an inch thick. 
  • Place the smash plantain into the fryer again, and fry for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. 
  • Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and serve!
