[Recipes] Baked Plantain Chips – A Crunchy, Low Sugar Snack Everyone Will Love

Hands-On Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
For the Chips:
- 2 green plantains, rinsed, peeled, and sliced on the bias into 1/8"-thick ovals
- 2 Tbsp. neutral oil (such as canola, sunflower, or peanut)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
For the Optional Seasoning Blend:
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/8 tsp. ground cayenne
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. MSG (optional)
Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss the sliced plantains with oil and salt until evenly coated.
Step 2:
Arrange plantains in a single layer on two large baking sheets, making sure they don’t overlap.
Step 3:
Bake for 20 minutes, or until chips are golden and crispy. Remove the golden ones and return any thicker slices to the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes until crisp.
Step 4 (Optional):
To add extra flavor, stir together all seasoning blend ingredients in a large bowl. Add the baked chips and toss until evenly coated.
- For best results: Use green plantains — they’re less sweet and bake up crispier.
- No mandoline? A sharp knife works just fine. Just try to slice evenly.
- Serving suggestions: Pair with guacamole or a creamy dip for an addictive snack.
