Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 10m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Oil for frying
3 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat the oil (about a depth of 1 inch) to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the plantain slices with lime juice and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the plantains are golden and slightly soft, but not brown (lower heat if necessary), about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep the oil hot.
  • Place the rounds between brown paper and flatten slightly, using a rolling pin or the heel of your hand. Dip the pressed rounds in a bowl of lightly salted water and return them to the skillet. Fry until deep golden, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and serve.

These were good, but not great. The plantains were a little too oily for my taste. The dipping sauce was also a bit too sweet. I would still make these again, but I would make some adjustments to the recipe.

I made these for a party and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. The plantains were crispy and flavorful, and the dipping sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used ripe plantains and they were still delicious. The dipping sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making these again.

I've never had fried green plantains before, but I'm so glad I tried them! They were so good. The plantains were perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making these again.

These were delicious! I made them for dinner tonight and my family loved them. The plantains were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The dipping sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making these again.
