Plantain Chips

I saw this done a long while ago and thought what a genius idea! Its soooo good and HEALTHY too!

PLANTAIN CHIPS

3 plantains--fairly green/ripe
1 teaspoon sea salt (about!)

canola oil

Peel the plantains using a knife [they will not peel easily the "normal" way being so green] then slice them very thin with a mandolin or the slice side of a box grater. Pour oil in heavy duty [I like using my cast-iron pan] pan until 3/4 to 1 inch thick and heat up to 350 degrees (med to med-high). Place slices in the oil carefully, and "fry" them for 3 to 5 minutes. If you want them more crispy--keep them in for more like 5 minutes. Don't let them "burn" or turn brown in the oil, they won't have the same flavor. Remove the chips and place on paper bag [to soak up the oil] and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. They are ready right away! Enjoy!
