I love snacks, and I love plantains! I can eat plantains all day long. Traditionally in the Garifuna culture plantains are eaten fried or boiled in a traditional dish called Machuca. However, since transitioning to a healthier lifestyle, I prefer mine baked!

Are you looking for a healthy recipe for plantains? This excellent meal prep friendly recipe will teach you how to make crunchy plantains without the extra fat.

Today I am very excited to combine my love for snacks and plantains and share a simple recipe that is both healthy and delicious!

For this recipe, you will need plantains (the amount varies, I suggest at least 2 or 3). Your favorite seasoning, here I am using one from Flavor God. You will also need a little bit of oil; my preference is coconut oil. If you love spicy food, I recommend crushed red peppers!

Before you start, turn on your oven at 350 degrees. Once you peel your plantains, cut them into 1/2 inch slices, then mix all your ingredients in a bowl. Place your chips on a baking sheet and put them in the over!
