Ingredients

  • 2 Green plantain
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • tsp Black pepper Optional
  • tsp Paprika Optional
  • Oil cooking spray for air frying or baking

Instructions

Frying the Plantain Chips

  • Peel the plantains and chop them into round, thin, even slices.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning over each plantain slice and coat well. You can also add this after frying.
  • Heat enough oil (so that the plantain pieces are swimming in it) in a deep frying pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  • In batches, fry the plantain chips until golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  • Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. (If you didn't before, make sure to add the salt immediately)

Air Frying the Plantain Chips

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly coat the plantain slices with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
  • Season with salt immediately after removing from the air fryer.

Notes

  • Though I add my seasoning before frying, there is also the option of adding it after.
  • Bake for about 15 to 20 at 150 °C
