Baked Plantain Chips
Description
Baked Plantain Chips begin with green plantains peeled and thinly sliced using a mandoline for uniform thickness. Coated evenly with avocado oil and sprinkled with sea salt, the slices are arranged on parchment-lined trays and baked at 350°F until they develop golden edges and crisp texture.
The baking method produces chips that are crunchy without excess oiliness. The sea salt enhances the natural flavor of the plantains, and the avocado oil contributes a light, clean taste. The texture is crisp and satisfying, making these chips suitable as a snack or side.
Using a mandoline ensures consistent thinness, which is key for even baking and crispiness. Care is recommended when slicing to avoid injury, as mandolines are very sharp.
Ingredients
- 1 green plantain
- 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
- salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- With a small knife, make 3-4 cuts lengthwise down the plantain, just enough to go through the peel. Then remove the peel.
- Thinly slice the plantain with a mandoline (on the thinnest setting). Add the plantain slices to a bowl and toss with the avocado oil to evenly coat.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the plantain slices on the tray in one layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until just golden along the edges.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for thin, even slices, but handle with care as blades are extremely sharp.
