Peel the plantain, removing both ends.

Use a vegetable slicer to slice the plantain into thin chips.

Add a pinch of salt to the sliced plantain and shake to mix.

Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the plantain chips to the pan, ensuring they are not sticking together.

Fry the chips until they turn a yellow color and become crispy, watching for a whistling sound as they cook.

Check the chips for doneness by feeling their texture and listening for a change in sound.

Remove the chips when they are a light yellow-brown color, being careful not to let them burn.

Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
