Peel the green plantains carefully as the skin does not come off easily.

Cut the plantains into rounds about half a centimeter thick.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot.

Fry the plantain slices for about 2-3 minutes to soften them, not to cook them completely.

Sprinkle salt and garlic powder on the cutting board after frying the slices.

Use a flat-bottomed object (like a glass) to gently squash each piece of plantain.

Refry the squashed plantains for about 6-7 minutes until crispy.

Sprinkle more salt on the fried plantains and remove excess salt if necessary.

Serve with mustard and cheese as toppings, or plain.
