This easy-to-make Air Fryer Plantain Chips are one of my favorite go-snacks recipes, and also my new obsession! These chips are healthy, flavorful, and quick appetizer recipe makes perfect for kids and grown-up!

Try this Homemade fajita mix to give your plantain chips a spicy kick.

What are Plantain Chips?

Plantains are the member of the banana family, these are starchier and lower in sugar. Generally, this is bigger than a banana and has thick skin and it can be consumed when it is still green.

Plantain chips are also known as Chifles or banana chips which are made from thin slices of green or yellow plantain that are baked, air fryer, or deep-fried until golden and crispy.

Then they are seasoned with salt, paprika, and dried herbs.

How to Make Baked Plantain Chips

  • Preheat your oven to 350ÂşF or 175ÂşC. 
  • Wash and peel the plantains. Cut them into thin slices using a mandoline slicer or a knife. 
  • Add the sliced plantain to a deep bowl and sprinkle some oil and combine it properly. 
  • Gently place the slices onto a parchment-lined large baking tray and bake them for 12 to 14 minutes and then flip it and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes for the other side. 
  • Transfer the chips into a mixing bowl and add salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Or you can use any spice mix as per your taste preference. 
  • Enjoy it warmly or store it at room temperature for future use.

How to store baked plantain chips

I will recommend you to have them immediately or on the same day, but if you have some leftover baked plantain chips you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days. 

It’s even a travel-friendly snack, you just have to pack them in a reusable sandwich bag and it stays fresh for several hours.

Best seasoning mix for Air fryer Plantain Chips

Homemade plantain chips have very little oil, calories, and sodium as compared to store-bought. A small cup of these air fryer plantain chips can definitely be a part of a healthy and balanced diet.

Making your own snacks at home is a great way to check what ingredients they contain and tweak them as per your taste preference.

These are some of the easy homemade spice/seasoning mixes you can use to season your plantain chips- homemade fajita seasoning, cajun mix, or tacos mix.

Tips for Air fryer Plantain Chips:
