Wash the plantains.

Cut both ends of the plantain and make a slit down the side to remove the skin.

Cut the plantains into discs or cubes, or diagonally into long pieces.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle salt on the plantain slices and rub it in to coat them.

Check if the oil is hot enough before frying the plantains.

Fry the plantains for about 4 to 5 minutes, flipping them to ensure even cooking.

Line a sieve with paper towels to drain excess oil from the fried plantains.

Continue frying until the desired level of doneness is reached, from light golden brown to darker shades.

Check the doneness of the plantains by their flexibility and color.
