Ingredients

4 servings

2 large green plantains
1 ½ cups neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil), for frying
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.
2
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.
