How to Make Crispy Nigerian Plantain Chips at Home

How to Make Crispy Nigerian Plantain Chips at Home — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Make crispy Nigerian plantain chips at home with just plantains, frying oil and optional salt. Green plantains give a savoury, extra-crunchy result, while semi-ripe plantains add a light sweetness and deeper golden colour. Slice the peeled plantains very thinly, preferably with a mandoline for even pieces. Fry in hot oil in small batches, turning occasionally until golden and the sizzling reduces. Allow the chips to cool completely before storing them in an airtight jar to keep them crunchy.

For people who have tried both, do you prefer the savoury crunch of green plantains or the slight sweetness of semi-ripe ones?

I agree, the stage of ripeness really changes the chips, so it is worth trying both.

The difference between green and semi-ripe plantains sounds useful, especially since the colour and flavour can change without adding many ingredients.

Thin slices may be important, but crispy chips can still be tricky; the plantain stage seems just as central to the final result.

I would choose one plantain type per batch first, slice it as thinly as possible, then add salt only if needed.
