Peel the plantains and cut them into sticks like fries (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness). Put them inside a bowl and season the plantains with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat some oil on medium to high heat in a deep frying pan to about 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Add the plantains and fry occasionally stirring, until golden brown and crisp on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the oil and let it drain. Serve immediately with ketchup, hot sauce, or dipping sauce.
