SPICY SEASONED PLANTAIN CHIPS
Steps:
- Place the plantains in a bowl of cold water to soak for 30 to 40 minutes (this will help make them easier to peel).
- Combine the salt, garlic, sugar, chile powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and clove in a dry pan and toast lightly until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat a large pot of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
- Peel the plantains and, using a mandolin, finely slice lengthwise. Working in batches, deep fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Once all of the plantain slices are fried, toss them in the toasted spice mixture and serve.

Steps:
- Slice the plantain into small bite size pieces and place into a large bowl.
- Mince the ginger and onion to a paste. You can do this in a small blender with a little water or in a pestle and mortar.
- Put the ginger and onion paste into a small bowl, add 2 teaspoons of the kelewele seasoning, salt and the warm water and mix.
- Add paste to the plantain and mix ensuring all the pieces are coated then leave to stand for at least 30 minutes minutes (very important). This is to ensure the paste sticks to the plantain.
- Heat about an inch and a half of oil in a pan until hot and in small batches add plantain to the oil with a slotted spoon ensuring the pieces are not touching.
- Deep fry plantain pieces until golden brown then place in a bowl lined with kitchen towel.
- You must keep a very close eye on the Kelewele, they can burn easily because of the sugar in the plantain. Also ensure all sides caramelise by moving the pieces around.
- Once done serve immediately with roasted peanuts sprinkled all over or on the side. You can eat this as a snack on its own or as part of a meal e.g with jollof rice.
Tips:
- Choose ripe plantains for a sweeter and softer flavor.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the plantains in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the plantains over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- Flip the plantains frequently to ensure even cooking and to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add a little bit of oil or butter to the pan to prevent the plantains from sticking.
- Sprinkle the plantains with a mixture of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to enhance their flavor.
- Serve the plantains with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey, maple syrup, or yogurt.
