Description

Ingredients

• 2 green plantains
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• Salt and pepper

Directions

• In a large frying pan heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Oil should be about 1/2-inch deep.
• Slice the ends off the plantains. Run a knife down the length creating a shallow incision. Pry open skin to peel. Slice plantains 1-inch thick. Fry in hot oil until softened, but not browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. They will pierce easily with a fork when soft.
• Remove from oil and flatten each piece to 1/4-inch thickness. This can be done with the bottom of a plate or cup. Return to oil and fry again on each side until crispy and golden yellow, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while hot. Serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients and serve.
• In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat for about 10 minutes. Oil should bubble slightly, but not be hot enough to brown the garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
