Baked Plantain Chips – MBP Less is More

July 25th, 2008 Madhuram Posted in From Other Blogs, Salt and Spicy, Snacks, Vegan Snacks/Appetizers |  Print This Recipe | 18 Comments »

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. 

• My Variation
• My Notes

My Variation1.  I used 3 medium size plantains.  Peeled it and sliced it thin using a mandolin. 
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.

My Notes >>

My NotesThe first time I made these, I cut the slices thicker, so it took around 30 minutes and it baked evenly.  But this time I made it very thin, so it was getting burnt very soon.  I think I should have reduced the oven temperature.

I’m sending this to Nupur’s Less is More – MBP event.

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

   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.

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