4 servings
- 2 large green plantains (about 1 lb total)
- 2 cups coconut oil, for frying
- ¾ tsp flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
- 1
Score the skin of each plantain lengthwise with a knife, then peel and discard the skin. Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch (about 1.5 mm) or a sharp knife, slice the plantains crosswise into rounds as uniformly thin as possible — consistent thickness ensures even frying.

Add the coconut oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) on a deep-fry thermometer.
