Healthy Snack Recipe: Spicy Baked Plantain Chips

Yields 2 to 3 cups

2 green plantains
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Remove plantain peel with a knife. Thinly slice using a mandoline, if possible.

In a bowl, toss plantain slices with olive oil, spices and salt. Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, turning slices after about 8 minutes. Watch closely after turning - they can burn quickly. Remove from oven and serve.

Chips are best eaten immediately, but they'll keep for about a day.
