Peel the plantains and slice them directly into the hot oil using a mandoline.

Fry the plantain slices until they are halfway cooked, then add 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder to the oil for color (optional step).

Continue frying until the plantain chips are crispy.

Remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
