Fried Plantain Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Deep fry the plantain slices, about a dozen at a time, until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a large bowl lined with paper towels, and salt to taste while still warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Divide plantains between two rimmed baking sheets. Toss with oil, then arrange in a single layer on sheets. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheets and flipping plantains halfway through. Drain plantains on paper towels. Serve with Pico de Gallo, if desired.

Steps:

• Peel plantain and slice thinly.
• Heat oil and fry until crisp.
• Sprinkle with salt.

Steps:

• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Steps:

• Make the mango hot sauce: Heat the oil in a medium pan over low heat. Add the shallots, chiles, garlic, turmeric, and mango and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until the aromatics start to soften. Add the salt, vinegar, and ½ cup water. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer until the aromatics are completely softened and the liquid thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the orange juice and season with more salt to taste. Transfer the hot sauce to a resealable glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use. (The hot sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.)
• Make the lime sour cream: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, lime zest and juice, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the plantains: Fill a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot about two-thirds of the way with vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F.
• With a very sharp knife, peel the plantains, then slice lengthwise about ⅛ inch thick. Working in batches, fry the plantains in the hot oil, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the fried plantains with the mango hot sauce and lime sour cream for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat 4 inches oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches of several strips, fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain. Season with salt.
