Whip up a batch of these Crispy Garlic Spiced Plantain Chips in just 45 minutes for a delicious, gluten-free and paleo-friendly snack! Perfectly seasoned and crunchy, they're a healthy alternative to your regular chips.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Sheet
Start your plantain chip adventure by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While it's warming up, grab a baking sheet and give it a nice lining with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This little prep step is going to ensure your plantain chips end up crispy, not sticky!
Pro Tip: Silicone mats make for an easier cleanup!
Step 2: Prep the Plantains
Now it's time to tackle the plantains. Chop off both ends to make peeling a breeze. With a careful slit along the side, you can easily peel them. Don't worry about perfection here; beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and these plantains are about to become gorgeous chips.
Pro Tip: Use a knife to gently score the skin for easier peeling.
Step 3: Slice and Season
With your plantains peeled, it's slicing time. Aim for thin slices; the thinner, the crispier. Toss these slices into a medium bowl, then drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle on your delightful mix of garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir till each slice is evenly coated in the spicy, garlicky goodness.
Pro Tip: Use a mandoline for evenly thin slices.
Step 4: Bake to Perfect Crispiness
Lay your seasoned plantain slices out on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not overlapping. Pop them into the oven and let them bake for about 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, give them a flip and, if needed, swap the sheets between racks to ensure an even crisp. What you're looking for is that beautiful golden brown edge as a sign they're done to perfection.
