For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the garlic salt. A mandoline can be used for even shredding of the plantains, but be extremely careful when using one. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a classic mayo-ketchup (equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup with a touch of garlic) or a spicy aioli. Aranitas are best served immediately after frying to maintain their crispiness.

Feb 28, 2025The key is definitely the hot oil and seasoning them right away. Mine weren't as crispy the first time, but the second batch was perfect!
