Baked Plantain Chips

Day 1 Week 2 BM#53 - 

This week I shall showcase a few recipes which need only 3 major ingredients (excluding salt and pepper). I had bookmarked these chips from Suma's space and tried it a few times now. 

Though these chips look different from what Suma made, they turned out just as addictive. They taste awesome as is. But it would be a great accompaniment to Dal/Sambar as well.

Ingredients - 

Plantain 3 nos (The green variety)
Cooking Oil 2 Tbsp
Salt and Red Chili Powder as needed

Method Of Preparation -


Peel the plantains and using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the plantains and set aside in a mixing bowl.

Sprinkle oil, salt and red chili powder and make sure every slice is evenly coated.

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Prepare 2 baking trays by lining with a parchment paper.

Arrange all the slices in a single layer and bake them for 10 minutes on each side, watching them carefully until they are crisp. [I let them stay in the oven for 5 more minutes after I switched off the heat]

Remove and enjoy them as a snack or as an accompaniment to lunch/dinner.
