Baked Plaintain Chips - MBP Less is More
J and B’s Baked Plantain Chips has become yet another favorite in our house. This is the 2nd time I’m making it. Before knowing this recipe I used to find plantains everywhere but I never used to buy it because I did not not know what to do with it. Then one day I found this recipe and believe me or not I couldn’t find plantains anywhere. I did not take pictures the first time I made it, because my husband was snacking it away and actually we did not have anything left to be taken with rice. This time I managed to take a picture before we could gobble them up.
2. In a bowl I added coconut oil, little vegetable oil, red chili powder and salt. Whisked it using a fork. Added the plantain slices and tossed them to coat it with the oil and spices.
3. Greased a baking sheet using a non stick spray and then spread the slices on it and baked it for 20-25 minutes, turning once.
Now the chips is ready! It’s a healthy indulgence because it is not deep fried in coconut oil like the traditional plantain chips.
I’m sending this to Nupur’s Less is More - MBP event.

Chips have come out lovely. Indeed a guilt-free snack. It looks the ripe plantain chips.

the mandolin really makes them thinner and crisper. i just cut them by hand ‘cos i’m too lazy to pull out the mandolin. have you tried these chips with lotus root? they are even better. we have a recipe.

Nice alternative to frying it twice. I like tostones but it gets way too greasy sometimes.
