Serving size: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2-3 green or slightly ripe plantains, peeled and thinly sliced into chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wash and prepare plantains.
- Toss plantain slices with oil, spices, and salt in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

- Chips are best served on their own or with mango salsa.
