Real Healthy Plantain Chips

Before I started eating only real, wholesome and unprocessed foods I used to occasionally snack on a salty bag
of fried plantain chips. You know the ones — fried in vegetable oil and doused in salt and preservatives. Not
what you’d call very healthy, although quite tasty.

These days I do not eat packaged snack, as a part of my commitment to eat only real food in 2013. So when I
walked past a pile of plantains at the market I had the bright idea to create my own crunchy snack, baked and
not fried.

This recipe is sooooo simple, and the result is a delicious, sinfully crunchy snack.

Here’s what you need:
 2 large unripe plantains  juice from 1/2 a lemon
 olive oil  freshly ground sea salt

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degress C. Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets with olive oil.
2. Peel the plantains and slice thinly on a diagonal. In a medium bowl toss the plantains with some olive
oil, the juice from 1/2 a lemon and a generous sprinkle of salt.
3. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
