Baked plantain chips with cinnamon

Name: Baked plantain chips with cinnamon
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 18 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: trinidadian
Ingredients: 2 Green-yellow plantains; 2 tsp Rapeseed oil; 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon; Pinch of sea salt

Thin-sliced plantain, oven-crisped with a whisper of cinnamon — the crunch without the fryer.

Fried plantain chips are the roadside snack of the whole region. Baking slices thin and hot keeps the caramel edges and the salty-sweet joy — the fryer simply is not invited.

Ingredients

Green-yellow plantains2
Rapeseed oil2 tsp
Ground cinnamon1/2 tsp
Pinch of sea salt

Method

1Heat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C). Slice the plantains as thinly as you can — a mandolin helps.
2Toss the slices with the oil, cinnamon and the smallest pinch of salt.
3Spread in one layer on lined trays and bake 15–18 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
4Cool for 5 minutes — they crisp further as they cool — then try to share.
