Salted plantains recipe

salted plantain
You couldn't ask for a tastier alternative to chips or fries on your plate! Perfectly golden, crispy and salty, these irresistible plantain slices add a delicious Caribbean touch to any occasion.

Tips
- You can also lightly crush the plantain slices after frying them to create tostones, which are then refried for added crunch.
- Plantains can be seasoned with other spices according to your preferences, such as cumin or chili powder.
- 2-3 ripe but firm plantains
- Olive oil or frying oil for cooking
- Salt to taste
- Chili pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Preparing plantains:
- Select plantains: Choose plantains that are ripe but still firm (the skin should be yellow with a few black spots).
- Peel the plantains: Cut off the ends of the plantains and make a longitudinal incision in the skin to facilitate peeling. Remove the peel.
- Cut the plantains into slices about 1 to 2 cm thick.
Cooking the plantains:
- Heat oil: Heat olive oil or cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the plantains: Add the plantain slices to the hot oil, taking care not to overload the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
- Remove and season: Once cooked, remove the plantain slices from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil. While still hot, season with salt, garlic powder and paprika if desired. Add chopped chilli pepper for a spicy flavour, if desired.
Serve:
- Enjoy: Serve warm salted plantains with meats, sauces, or simply as a snack with a dipping sauce such as guacamole, yogurt-based sauce or hot sauce.
