Ingredients
Method
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
Chip, chip hooray! Crunch into this irresistible homemade plantain chips recipe!
Come with us on a taste trip to Flavourtown with this seriously scrummy plantain chips recipe. It’s a snack that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, and if you’ve never met a plantain before, you’re in for a treat! Plantains look like big bananas, but they’re starchier and less sweet, and cooking plantain chips is super-simple. When you slice them thin and fry them to crispy perfection, they transform into a sensational snack that’s seriously hard to resist. And by the way, baked plantain chips are just as good!
The best bit is that cooking plantain chips is simple and easy! All you need is a splash of vegetable oil, a couple of green plantains, and a zingy hit of fresh lime juice and zest. Sprinkle them with salt and you’ve got a chip that’s crunchy, tangy, and mouthwateringly moreish. It doesn’t matter if you’re frying them or prefer slightly healthier baked plantain chips, they’re perfect for movie nights, party platters, or as a crunchy side to your favourite dips and salsas.
Our plantain chips recipe is a snack-time superstar, but if you’re craving more crispy crunchy creations, why not try homemade sweet potato fries with a cheeky spice mix, chickpea chips with a chipotle mayo, or classic chorizo nachos with chunky guacamole. Snack happy!
