Pan Fried Spicy Plantains

This is a great snack for a party or for watching a movie/game. To make this dish, first start with 2 dark green plantains. Skin the plantains by cutting along the ridges and peeling. Next, dice the plantains into small cubes. Put canola oil or grapeseed oil into a fry pan or wok. Raise this to a high to medium high heat. Do not use olive oil on high since it will smoke at high heat easily. Then carefully put your plantains into the oil. Try to keep the cubes separated so they can become coated on the outside with oil. Next turn the heat down to Medium or Med Hi and keep mixing every minute or two. The plantains should become crispy on the outside and stay chewy inside. After they are well browned, add salt and chilli powder to taste.

This feeds 3-6 people as an appetizer. Enjoy!!!
