Crispy fried plantain chips sprinkled with chili-lime salt. —Riley Wofford
Ingredients
-
2
green plantains
-
1 tablespoon
kosher salt
-
1
lime, zested
-
1/2 teaspoon
chili powder
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
-
Peel the plantains and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
-
Using a mandoline, slice the plantains as thinly as possible. Stir together the salt, lime zest, and chili powder in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.
-
Pour enough vegetable oil into the deep-sided skillet to come about one inch up the side of the pan. Place the oil over medium-high heat, until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, add the plantains to the oil and fry for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and, while the chips are still warm, sprinkle with the chili-lime salt.
