Plantain Crisps – African Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

HOT PLANTAIN CRISPS

4 firm plantains

4 tsp lemon juice

4 tsp ground ginger

4 tsp cayenne pepper

oil for frying

Slice the plantains into rounds 1/2-inch thick, and sprinkle lemon

juice over the pieces, stirring to moisten. In a separate bowl,

combine the ginger and pepper. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a

heavy skillet until a test piece of plantain sputters. Roll plantain

pieces a few at a time in the spice mixture to coat surfaces, then

transfer to the skillet. Fry until outsides are crisp and golden.

With a slotted spoon, remove plaintains to paper towels. Serve hot.
