Peel the plantains and slice them thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Soak the sliced plantains in water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain the plantains and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the plantain slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Fry the plantains until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried plantains with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

While still hot, sprinkle with salt and any desired seasonings.

Let cool completely before serving.
