Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the coconut oil in a large skillet. Add enough vegetable oil to reach about a third of the way up the sides of the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Combine brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

  3. Add plantain slices a few at a time to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the plantains from the oil and crush each one with a wooden mallet or rolling pin.
  4. Add the plantains back into the oil, working in small batches to prevent them from sticking together, and fry for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chips to a towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the spice mixture.
