Peel the plantains and cut each into 1 to 1½-inch sections.

Heat oil. Put the plantains into hot frying oil and cook until golden brown.Remove them with a slotted spoon and place onto a cooling rack.

Flatten each fried portion with the base of a glass or by placing the plantain in between two wooden boards. The idea is to flatten each round to obtain ¼-inch thick flat pancake.

Deep fry the plantain flat coins, in small batches, until golden and crisp.

Serve with toppings of your choice.
