Plantain Chips & Hydrating Cuban Mocktail

For the plantain chips: Plantains need to be green! Peel and slice your plantains thinly (a mandolin is recommended). Fill a frying pan with about 1 inch of avocado oil. When it’s hot, add your sliced plantains in slowly. Cook, moving around gently (no need to turn them, as long as there’s a thin layer of oil on top) until they’re a golden brown. When they reach golden brown, transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and immediately douse in salt.

To make the drink: Add a handful of mint to the bottom of a glass. Add ice, 3/4 oz lime juice, 4 oz coconut water, and top off with sparkling water. ENJOY!
