Ingredients
Peanut or canola oil, for frying
3 green plantains, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick strips
Coarse salt
Preparation
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.
