cinnamon sugar plantain chips

i fell in love with plantain chips after buying them from trader joe's. they are a little pricey for a 'chip,' and you don't get much in a bag, so i thought i'd try to make them myself (and i'm so glad i did!). this recipe is seriously so quick and easy to make. just cut them up, pop them in the oven, and then pop them in your mouth!


cinnamon sugar plantain chips


ingredients: 
  • 1 plantain, browned
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1/2 tbsp. raw sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar 
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

preheat the oven to 425 F. peel the plantain by using a knife to cut 3 - 4 vertical slits down the fruit. the peel should then easily pull down. using a knife, cut the plantain into small circles as thin as you can get them. put the plantains in a bowl and toss with the canola oil, sugar and cinnamon. once the plantains are completely coated, place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. cook at 425 F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. be careful not to burn them!

remove from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

  1. I am OBSESSED with the plantain chips from TJ's and we make fried plantains in my family (Cuban, after all). I haven't thought to make my own chips in the oven though - thanks for this! I literally devoured a bag yesterday, so it's probably a good idea to make them next time ;)
