4 servings
- 2 large green plantains
- 1 ½ cups neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil), for frying
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap. - 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
For the garlic mojo
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pour the neutral oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1 inch and heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 325°F (163°C), or until a plantain round dropped in sizzles steadily.

Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the plantain rounds to the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until pale golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
