  • Prepare the Plantain:
    • Peel the plantain and slice it into thin strips. Set aside.
  • Heat the Pan:
    • In a pan, add a mixture of butter and oil. Heat over low to medium heat until the butter melts and the oil is hot.
  • Cook the Plantain:
    • Carefully add the plantain strips to the pan, making sure they are in a single layer. Cook until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Avocado Dip:
    • While the plantains are cooking, mash the avocado in a bowl. Season with salt to taste.
    • Stir in the chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion until well combined.
  • Serve:
    • Once the plantain strips are crispy and golden, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
    • Serve the crispy plantains warm as a starter, alongside the avocado dip. Enjoy!
