Peel the green plantain by cutting the top and bottom off and making a line down the side.

Cut the plantain into thirds for smaller slices.

Pour oil into the frying pan and heat for at least one minute.

Lightly salt the plantain slices by sprinkling salt from your hand and rubbing it over the slices.

Gently insert each slice of plantain into the hot oil once it is ready.

Fry the plantain slices until they are soft enough for pressing, but do not overcook them.

Remove the fried plantain slices and place them onto a plate or flat surface.

Press each piece of plantain using a glass container, applying gentle pressure to avoid sticking.

Fry the pressed plantain slices again until they are crispy, cooking them longer if desired.
