Ingredients

For the Plantain Chips-

  • 2 Green (may be slightly yellow) Plantains, peeled and sliced thinly (1/4” thickness)
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt

For the Guacamole-

  • 2 Avocados
  • 1 Lime
  • 1/4 Cup Onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the sliced plantains to a bowl, add the olive oil and 1 tsp of salt, and toss the plantain slices until they are all coated in the oil.
  • Place the sliced plantains onto the baking sheet, laying them flat (in one layer) and spacing them out as much as you can. Bake for 10-12 minutes (length of time will depend on thickness) until the plantains are golden and starting to crisp.
  • Flip the plantains to the other side and cook for up to another 5 minutes or until the chips are golden and crispy. They will burn quickly, so watch closely. When they are done, immediately sprinkle the plantain chips with a little extra salt.
  • For the guacamole, place the peeled and pitted avocados into a medium bowl. Add the juice of 1 lime and the olive oil. Mash the avocado using a fork or potato masher until it reaches a chunky consistency.
  • Add the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and about 1/2-1 tsp of salt. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. 
  • Serve the plantain chips alongside the guacamole for dipping. Enjoy!
