Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 Hass avocado, peeled and pitted
• 2 green plantains, peeled and sliced into fifths

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine avocados, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and salt together in a bowl; sprinkle in garlic. Mash using a potato masher until dip is creamy.

Step 2

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drizzle about 1 teaspoon oil onto a clean work surface and the bottom of a coffee cup.

Step 3

Fry the plantains in the hot oil until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from fryer and place on the work surface; flatten with the bottom of the coffee cup. Re-fry until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Place on a paper towel-covered plate; sprinkle with salt. Serve plantains alongside the dip.
