Ingredients

• 1 15 oz can Canned Black Beans (drained & rinsed)
• 1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (diced)
• 1/4 medium Red Onion (diced)
• 1 small Jalapeño (minced)
• 2 tbsp Lime Juice
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 large Plantains

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2For the plantain chips, slice the 2 large plantains very thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Lightly spray the plantain slices with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with the 1/4 tsp salt.
3. 3Arrange the seasoned plantain slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
4. 4While the plantain chips are baking, prepare the black bean dip. In a food processor, combine the 1 15 oz can of drained and rinsed black beans, the 1/2 medium red bell pepper (diced), the 1/4 medium red onion (diced), the 1 small jalapeño (minced), the 2 tbsp lime juice, the 1 tbsp olive oil, the 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, and the 1/4 tsp salt.
5. 5Process the mixture in the food processor until it is smooth and well combined. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl once or twice.
6. 6Serve the smooth black bean dip immediately with the crispy baked plantain chips.
