FAQs
Can I use ripe plantains for this recipe?
Ripe plantains are sweeter and softer. They won’t give you the same crispy texture as green plantains, so it’s best to stick with green ones for chips.
Can I fry the plantain chips instead of baking them?
Yes, you can fry them for a different texture, but baking is a healthier option that avoids extra oil.
How can I make these chips spicier?
You can add more black pepper or sprinkle some chili powder or cayenne pepper on before baking to give them an extra kick.
