A super simple and healthy snack that everyone in the family will enjoy. Try these crispy salted plantain chips dipped in a creamy black bean dip at your next family game night or Superbowl party. They'll go fast so have some extra plantains on hand to make more. Try replacing the salt and pepper with chili powder, cayenne, or cinnamon to change things up.

What You Need
  • 2 pounds of green plantains
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper
How to Do It
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  2. Score and peel the plantains, then slice them diagonally about ⅛" thick.
  3. Place sliced plantains in a large bowl and toss with oil, then season with salt and pepper..
  4. Arrange slices in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets, make sure they don't overlap.
  5. Bake until golden and crisp, 20-30 minutes. After 15 minutes rotate the baking sheets and flip the plantain chips over for even cooking.
  6. Let them sit on the baking sheet 3-5 minutes before removing. Serve immediately.
  7. Plantain chips soften at room temperature, so if you need to re-crisp them, just pop them back into the oven for about 5 minutes.
Extras
Plantain chips will keep in a sealed zip style bag or airtight container for up to two days.
