PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep sided skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

SPICY SEASONED PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Place the plantains in a bowl of cold water to soak for 30 to 40 minutes (this will help make them easier to peel).
• Combine the salt, garlic, sugar, chile powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and clove in a dry pan and toast lightly until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat a large pot of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the plantains and, using a mandolin, finely slice lengthwise. Working in batches, deep fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Once all of the plantain slices are fried, toss them in the toasted spice mixture and serve.

PLAINTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• In a heavy based pot heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline, or sharp knife, finely slice plantains into chips (for a fancier presentation slice them lengthwise into ribbons). Fry the plantains in small batches until crisp and golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Season with salt immediately.

BAKED PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Divide plantains between two rimmed baking sheets. Toss with oil, then arrange in a single layer on sheets. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheets and flipping plantains halfway through. Drain plantains on paper towels. Serve with Pico de Gallo, if desired.

AIR FRYER PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut both ends of plantain and score along the side through the skin only. Peel skin off and cut plantain in half. Peel into strips using a vegetable peeler.
• Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil. Place plantain strips in the basket, making sure they do not touch. Spray top of plantain strips with oil.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7 to 9 minutes. Use tongs to turn each strip over, and continue frying until crispy, an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
