How to make a plantain chips

I love plantain chips while i was in Nigeria, but i use to think it is a difficult thing to make, not until i try to find out what the recipe is and i realize it is just 3 recipe to make my favorite snack,



plantain Chips are crunchy Nigerian snacks made with either ripe or unripe plantains. When making it with ripe plantains, ensure that the plantains are just beginning to ripe and are still hard. This will make it crunchy when done.
Recipe -
Ripe/Unripe Plantain
Vegetable Oil: enough for deep frying.
Salt to taste
P.S When making plantain chips with ripe plantains, make sure that the plantains are just beginning to ripe and still very hard. Soft plantains never get crunchy if used for this snack.
Wash and peel the plantains.
When done, add salt to taste and stir. Transfer the plantain slices to a sieve to drain the water. -
 Directions
Heat some vegetable oil till hot.
Put the slices of plantain into the oil in such a way that they are not stuck together.
Stir till the plantains are bright yellow and crunchy. If using ripe plantains, they will be deep yellow.
Transfer the plantain slices to a sieve lined with paper towels.
Store in air-tight containers when they have cooled down completely and munch away whenever you want.
Plantain chips made with unripe plantains hardly absorb any oil while those made with ripe plantains absorb some of the vegetable oil during the frying process.
