Ingredients

  • 3 green plantains
  • oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red chile powder cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon za'atar

Instructions

  • Cut off the ends of the green plantains.
  • Using a small knife like a paring knife, go along the natural ridges of the plantain with the knife and lightly cut into the ridges just through the skin.
  • At one end of the plantain, put the blade of the knife underneath the skin and the skin should pop off know in pieces where you sliced along the skin.
  • Using a mandolin, thinly slice the plantains.
  • In a deep skillet or wok, heat enough oil for deep frying.
  • Drop the plantain slices one at a time in the hot oil so they don't stick to each other.
  • Fry until golden brown on both sides, tossing frequently with a spider or a slotted spoon.
  • Remove to a paper towel and drain off excess oil.
  • Sprinkle salt, chile powder and za'atar. Toss well to evenly distribute the spices.
  • Serve as a snack.
