Baked Plantain Chips

IMG_8208

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.

    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!

    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!

    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 🙂
