Instructions

  1. Peel the green plantains by scoring the skin lengthwise, then slice them into thin rounds about 3 mm thick.
  2. Heat the oil in a pot to 170 °C; it's ready when a small piece of plantain sizzles vigorously without burning.
  3. Fry the slices in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  4. Drain them on paper towels.
  5. Season them with salt immediately while still hot, then add the chili and pepper.
  6. Squeeze a little lime juice over them just before serving.

Variations and tips

Baked chips. Brush the slices lightly with oil and bake at 200 °C for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.
