Happy Friday, guys! I’m sharing one of my favorite snacks with Y’all and its Plantain chip, I can eat plantains any day, any time, all day every day (that’s how much I love plantains) and because I like plantains I try to make anything I can make out of it. Have you tried my Plantain Pie yet? Plantain chip was posted before on the blog check Plantain Chips
I made this slightly spicy, you can use as much or as little spice in this recipe just use it according to the level of your pepper tolerance. I served it with Gizzard Stew Recipe and this actually elevated the taste and you’ll love. This is a basic street food, snack, and very easy to make. Adding onion into the oil to infuse extra flavor so, let’s get started!
- Green plantains (peeled and thinly sliced)
- Cayenne pepper
- Onion
- Oil for frying
- Salt
-
Cut off the tips (top and bottom) of the green plantains, one at a time.
-
Slash straight down (like cutting through all the way down) and gently peel off the skin. Cut the plantains into two or leave as a whole.
-
Use a sharp knife or potato peeler or a mandoline thinly slice the plantain. It's okay if you have some pieces cut off before you get to the end of the plantains
-
Add cayenne or dry pepper (as much or as little as you want) sprinkle salt and gently mix together making sure you don't crumble the plantains.
-
While the plantains are soaking up the spice. Place a saucepan/frying pan over a medium-high heat and add oil. Allow the oil to get hot, add a small piece of onion (like half) for some extra flavor add small sliced plantains (don't overcrowd) and fry until golden brown.
-
Flip and fry the other side. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil.
-
Repeat the process, remove the onion before it gets burnt.
-
Serve with gizzard stew or your favorite sauce/stew.
