Recipe Notes
Not familiar with plantains? Plantains are a versatile fruit (with similar uses to a potato) that can be mashed, baked, fried, boiled, and turned into chips! Plantains also contain minerals, vitamins, and are a good source of fiber. Although plantains look like large bananas, they cannot be eaten raw. This recipe calls for green plantains, to ensure that your chips will bake up crisp, rather than soft.
It is important to slice your plantains as thinly as possible to ensure your chips turn out crispy, and be sure to keep a close eye on them while they’re in the oven to prevent from over baking.
These Plantain Chips pair perfectly with my favorite Guacamole recipe or even my Easy Homemade Hummus recipe!
Now enjoy your easy, homemade, and guilt free snack!
