PLANTAIN CHIPS

Categories     side-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 green plantains, peeled
2 limes, zested and juiced
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep sided skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
  • Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly black with some yellow streaks. Avoid plantains that are completely black or have green patches, as they may be too ripe or unripe.
  • Slice plantains thinly: This will help the chips to cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Toss plantains with oil and seasonings: This will help the chips to brown and develop flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil. For seasonings, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices that you enjoy.
  • Bake plantains in a single layer: This will help the chips to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the chips will steam instead of bake.
  • Bake plantains until crispy: The chips are done baking when they are golden brown and crispy. The exact baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chips and your oven.
  • Let plantains cool before serving: This will help the chips to crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

Baked plantain chips are a delicious and healthy snack that are easy to make at home. They are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. You can enjoy them on their own, or serve them with your favorite dips or spreads.
