Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 3 large Ripe plantains (yellow with black spots)
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 pinch Red pepper flakes(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and slicing the skin lengthwise before pulling it back.

  2. 2

    Slice the plantains diagonally into 1/2-inch thick oval pieces to ensure maximum surface area for seasoning.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Carefully place the plantain slices in the hot oil in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.

  6. 6

    Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the edges are slightly caramelized.

  7. 7

    Remove the plantains with a slotted spoon and drain them briefly on paper towels.

  8. 8

    While still hot, toss the plantains in a bowl with the spice mixture and the fresh chopped parsley until evenly coated.
