Sometimes you just need something starchy and crispy! I topped these tiny delights with sea salt flakes and they were perfect. I don't make these often but I have a feeling they'll be added in to my rotation sooner than later!

Plantain Chips

You need:

• 1 green plantain
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• Sea salt flakes or course sea salt

Get cooking:

1. Heat the coconut oil in a heavy pot such as a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once heated, test by adding a drop of water- if it sizzles you're ready.
2. Score the peel of the plantain with a sharp knife, peel the plantain. I cut off any spots that were hard to remove.  
3. Slice into 1/4 inch round slices, I used my mandolin. You can certainly go thinner if you like!
4. Place your slices gently into the oil in one single layer. Don't crowd the pot otherwise your oil temp will go down.
5. Let the slices get golden and flip, they should take about 3-4 minutes on each side for a 1/4 inch thick slice. 
6. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to cool. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes while still hot so they stick! 
7. Repeat with remaining slices.

Enjoy with dips or by themselves. I found that these were best eaten fresh.
