Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the plantains, in batches, until tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the plantain slices to a double thickness of paper towels to drain. With the bottom of a heavy plate or saucepan, gently press down on the slices, one at a time, to flatten to 1/4-inch thickness.

Spray the same skillet with olive oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the plantain slices, in batches, and cook until nicely browned, about 1 minute on each side. Sprinkle with the salt while hot. Yields about 5 pieces per serving.
