Cinnamon Sugar Plantain chips
In 2005 I spent four months in Honduras. Over the course of those months I fell in love with the culture of Central America, the language, the music, and the food. I had expected to returned to Central America by now but with two cats, a dog, and a baby, travel (at this time in my life) feels a bit out of reach. Therefore whenever I have a chance to relive a little bit of the Honduran experience, I relish it.
Today, inspired by the traditional fried plantain, I created three flavors of baked plantain chips.
Curried Plantain Chips
Curried Plantain Chips
1 plantain, sliced thinly
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp salt
Spicy Chili and Lime Plantain Chips
1 plantain, sliced thinly
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Plantain Chips
1 plantain, sliced thinly
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Spicy Chili and Lime Plantain Chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a small bowl toss the sliced plantain in oil until thoroughly coated. Add spices and mix to evenly spread. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until plantains start to brown and curl up on the sides.
Remove from oven and cool. Enjoy or store in an air tight contain for up to 5 days.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. This is making me extremely snacky. I wonder if I can find plantains in Paris?
I’m not sure but you could use sweet potatoes or yams and I bet they would be equally yummy!
These look amazing! Love the new site!
Yay! I live in Grenada and def want to make these soon
Do the plantains need to be mostly black or yellow for this recipe?
I use mostly yellow ones when I make these.
