Recently I was craving plantain crisp (tbh when am I not craving plantain crisp), I've been eating them since I was knee high, however most brands fry the plantain to get that extra crispiness, so I challenged myself to make them at home, but a baked version. And thankfully they came out no to bad, Some stayed quite soft whilst others managed to crisp really well.
Served with homemade Spicy Guacamole, see recipe here.
TIP: Use green to yellow coloured plantain, any sign of over ripeness won't allow the plantain to crisp.
