Ingredients

2 plantains large
Olive Oil for deep frying
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut off both ends of the plantain then run your knife through the flesh of the plantain creating a cut from the top to the bottom - Try not to cut too deep into the flesh, you just want to cut through the skin.
Using a mandoline slicer, slice plantains into long, thin stripes. If the plantain is too long, divide it into two before slicing it.
Put the cut plantain in a large bowl, and season with salt and black pepper.
Preheat some Oil sufficient enough to deep fry the plantains. Add the plantains and fry them stirring continuously until they become golden and crispy.
