After trying Microwave potato chips, I always wanted to try some baked chips. I felt like having Banana chips, and instead of deep frying, baked it 🙂 Crispy and healthy snack. I prepared it in two batches, one with just salt and one with salt and chilli powder.
Baked Plantain Chips
Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 15 – 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Snack
Ingredients:
Plantain – 1, peeled and thinly sliced
Chili powder – 1/8 tsp (Adjust according to your spice level)
Salt – as needed
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
Cooking Spray (I used PAM olive oil spray)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit
- In a bowl, combine plantain, olive oil, chilli powder and salt
- Take a baking tray and place parchment paper. Grease with a cooking spray and spread the plantains
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the plantain slices after about 8 minutes

[…] from my friend’s mom and I liked it, so started cooking this frequently. This is similar to Plaintain chips but marinated and cooked Vazhakkai Varuval […]
The deep fried aspect of cooking always puts me off not that they dont taste good, they taste too good, but its just a lot of work by the end of which you dont want to eat it anyway. Baked chips sounds wonderful!
Thanks:-) totally agree at times oil is the biggest concern,baking is the best alternative
Looks healthy and tasty!
Thanks:)
Interesting recipe dear…….thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the lovely words Sony:)
Love this idea! Do you use a ripe plantain or a green one?
Thanks:)I used green plantain
Beautiful post and healthy chips! 🙂
Thanks:)
This looks fun! I recently went to a small Health Fair and someone brought baked plantain chips with a Trader Joe’s Spicy Bean Dip and from then on, I discovered more of a liking for plantain chips! Perfect timing for the recipe!
Glad to hear that you like baked plantain chips:) do try and let me know
as kids we used scramble and quarrel over these. Mom used to get a few packs through our Malayali neighbor, once a year. And it used to be over in a few days 🙂 I make these in oven, never tried the microwave. Now i will follow your recipe oneday, to make the microwave version 🙂
Healthy post , Vidya 🙂
I can very well relate to your story:) myself and sis had lot of similar stories:) I have tried in oven, yet to try microwave version
Much healthier than fried, great idea.
