Plantain Chips

Plantain Chips

EverydayCooked

Plantain chips are crispy snacks made from sliced green plantains that have been fried or baked until golden. Unlike banana chips, they're made from starchier, less sweet plantains, resulting in a more savory flavor profile similar to potato chips. These crunchy chips are a staple snack in many Caribbean and African cuisines, offering a denser texture and higher resistant starch content than traditional potato-based alternatives.
