Plantain chips

Hi friends..

I made plantain chips today..becoz everyday my husband asks some snacks once he returned from work ..now a days i am not making much..but he is always eating chips which are brought from the stores.Today i decided to make some quick snack replacing his store brought chips :) so i found this recipe from other blogger friend.After seeing her blog n seeing her recipe pics..i couldn't stand without making any of her recipes.Atlast i have decided to make these quick chips.

You can deep fry these chips or you can also bake in oven @ 350 F about 25 to 30 min untill chips becomes light golden brown,in between turn once.Next time i will try baking..

I sliced these chips using food processor..It just takes 2 min for slicing!!


You can check her recipe here..Plantain Chips @ http://www.tastypalettes.com/2007/05/plantain-chips.html ..sorry my links are not working..
