Chips de Plátano

Chips de Plátano are crunchy, slightly sweet plantain chips that make for a delightful Paleo-friendly Spanish snack. Perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own, these chips bring a taste of the tropics to your table.

Ingredients

• Green plantains - 2 medium
• Coconut oil - 150 ml
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Peel the green plantains using a knife or vegetable peeler and cut them into thin slices (about 2-3 mm thick).
2. In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until hot.
3. Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
4. Fry the plantain slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with sea salt and paprika to taste.
7. Let the chips cool for a few minutes before serving.
