👨‍🍳 Instrukcje

1. 1

   Peel the green plantains. Cut off the ends and make a shallow slit lengthwise through the peel. Pry the peel off carefully.

   💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: If the peel is stubborn, you can briefly dip the plantain in hot water.
2. 2

   Slice the plantains diagonally into about 1/4-inch thick pieces.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

   ⏱️ 5-7 minutes

   💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: You can test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of plantain; it should sizzle immediately.
4. 4

   Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly softened.

   ⏱️ 8-10 minutes per batch

   💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and achieve crispiness.
5. 5

   Remove the fried plantains from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

   💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Drain well to prevent sogginess.
6. 6

   While still warm, lightly sprinkle the fried plantains with salt. Serve immediately.

   💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Salt while warm so it adheres better.
