plantain chips

Crispy tropical snack

Plantain chips are thin slices of plantain that have been fried or baked until crispy, similar to potato chips.

The plantains are typically sliced while still green and unripe, yielding a starchier, less sweet chip.

Popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, they're often salted or seasoned: I grabbed a bag of plantain chips from the bodega.
