Peel the green plantains and slice them 3 cm thick.
Heat the oil to 170°C and fry the slices the first time for 5 minutes.
Remove the slices and flatten them with the bottom of a glass, keeping the edges from breaking.
Fry the flattened plantains for 6 minutes more until crisp.
Serve hot with salt and lemon.
💡 Tip: Flatten the plantains after the first fry while still warm; the edges stay neat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with salt and lemon.
