To make cheddar plantain chips, you will need the following ingredients and steps:
Ingredients:
- Green plantains
- Cheddar cheese
- Salt
- Oil for frying
Step 1: Peel the plantains and slice them thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. The thickness of the slices should be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
Step 2: Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
Step 3: Fry the plantain slices in small batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even frying.
Step 4: Remove the fried plantain chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to drain excess oil.
Step 5: While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
Step 6: Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it over the warm plantain chips. The residual heat will help melt the cheese slightly.
Step 7: Let the chips cool down and the cheese set before serving. Enjoy your homemade cheddar plantain chips as a delicious snack!
Note: You can also experiment with different seasonings or spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper, to add extra flavor to your cheddar plantain chips.
