Spicy Seasoned Plantain Chips Food

PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep sided skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

SEASONED PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on a baking sheet. Stir together the salt, cumin and paprika in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle a little of the spice mixture over the surface of the oiled baking sheet.
• Spread the pita wedges evenly on the baking sheet and rub them in the oil to coat the undersides. Drizzle more oil over the tops of the pita, and season lightly with the spice mixture.
• Bake until light golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

AIR FRYER PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut both ends of plantain and score along the side through the skin only. Peel skin off and cut plantain in half. Peel into strips using a vegetable peeler.
• Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil. Place plantain strips in the basket, making sure they do not touch. Spray top of plantain strips with oil.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7 to 9 minutes. Use tongs to turn each strip over, and continue frying until crispy, an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
