Roasted Plantain Chips

Ingredients

• 2 green plantains
• Avocado oil spray
• Sea salt

Herb Yogurt Dip Ingredients

• ½ cup of grass fed Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp of finely chopped parsley
• 1 tsp of finely chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp of finely chopped chives
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• ¼ of a lemon, juiced
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray evenly with avocado oil.
2. Prepare your plantain by cutting off the ends and making a shallow slit down its length. Peel off the skin.
3. Using a mandolin, or a very sharp knife, slice the plantain into 1/8” slices and lay evenly on the baking sheet.
4. Spray with avocado oil and season with sea salt to your taste.
5. Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the herb yogurt dip. Mix ingredients together.

Tip: The less ripe your plantain is, the starchier it will be. i.e., the crispier it will get. This will result in chips. If you like your plantain more ooey gooey and on the sweeter side, choose one that is mostly yellow with a few brown spots and cut into thicker slices. If you don’t have a mandolin, use a sharp knife to slice into 1/8” thick slices. Recipe by: Shaunna Leinster – Culinary Nutritionist
