Peel the plantains by chopping off the ends, then gently scoring the skin in the middle and peeling it off.
Slice the plantains at an angle into ½-inch pieces.
Lay the plantain pieces on a plate, and sprinkle them with salt.
Pour the vegetable oil into a frying pan, and bring the heat up to medium-low.
Carefully add the plantains to the hot oil, and cook for 7 minutes on each side.
Drain the plantains on a paper towel before serving.
