Yields 4 to 6 (About 30 Chips, Depending On The Size)
Ingredients
1 green plantain
1 TBL olive or grapeseed oil
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grab a baking sheet and coat it lightly with cooking spray.
Peel the plantain and cut it crosswise into slices no thicker than 0.125 inch. Don’t measure, just think thin.
Grab two bowls and put the oil and lime juice in one. Add the plantain and mix until every piece is covered. Place the plantains in the second bowl, add the spices and salt, and mix until all the plantains have seasoning on them.
Lay them out in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway. They will be golden and crispy when ready. Best eaten on the same day for crisp retention.
Modifications
Plantains are like big, starchy bananas. Look for them in any market that specializes in Latin American foods.
