Ingredients




2 plantains
2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats. 2 Cut off both ends of the plantains. Make a cut along the entire length of a plantain, and peel off the skin. 3 Slice each plantain into thin slices. Don’t worry if the slices are not perfect. 4 Place the plantains in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in all the other ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated. 5 Place the plantain slices on the baking sheets in a single layer. 6 Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them at about the 8- or 9-minute mark. Because of the uneven heat distribution in my oven, I also like to swap the baking sheets between the top and bottom racks. 7 Remove the chips from the oven when the edges turn into a nice golden brown color.
