Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 6 yellow (unripe) plantains
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground clove
Canola oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Place the plantains in a bowl of cold water to soak for 30 to 40 minutes (this will help make them easier to peel).
  • Combine the salt, garlic, sugar, chile powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and clove in a dry pan and toast lightly until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large pot of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel the plantains and, using a mandolin, finely slice lengthwise. Working in batches, deep fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Once all of the plantain slices are fried, toss them in the toasted spice mixture and serve.
