Roasted-Salted Plantain Chips
What it is
These are thinly sliced plantains that have been roasted and lightly salted. Plantains are a type of banana that are starchier and less sweet than dessert bananas, especially when unripe. Roasting brings out a savory flavor and a satisfying crispness. The salt enhances the natural taste of the plantain.
