Fried Plantain Chips

Ingredients

• 2
  
  green plantains
  
• 1
  
  tablespoon kosher salt
  
• 1
  
  lime, zested
  
• 1/2
  
  teaspoon chili powder
  
• 
  
  Vegetable oil, for frying
  

Directions

1. Peel the plantains and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
2. Using a mandoline, slice the plantains as thinly as possible. Stir together the salt, lime zest, and chili powder in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.
3. Pour enough vegetable oil into the deep-sided skillet to come about one inch up the side of the pan. Place the oil over medium-high heat, until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, add the plantains to the oil and fry for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and, while the chips are still warm, sprinkle with the chili-lime salt.
