Roasted Plantain Crisps with Avocado Dip

Ingredients

• 2 large Green Plantains
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 ripe Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1 clove Garlic

Instructions

1. 1Set your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Peel the 2 large Green Plantains. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, carefully slice the plantains thinly and uniformly, aiming for a consistent thickness for even cooking.
3. 3In a medium bowl, combine the sliced plantains with the 2 tablespoons Olive Oil and 1/4 teaspoon Salt. Toss gently with your hands or a spoon until all the plantain slices are evenly coated.
4. 4Arrange the seasoned plantain slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, flipping each slice halfway through the baking time. Continue baking until the crisps are golden brown and feel firm and crispy to the touch.
5. 5While the plantains are baking, prepare the avocado dip. Peel and pit the 2 ripe Avocados. In a separate medium bowl, add the avocado flesh, 2 tablespoons Lime Juice, 1/4 cup Cilantro (finely chopped), and 1 clove Garlic (minced).
6. 6Mash the ingredients in the bowl together with a fork or potato masher until the dip is creamy and smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon Salt.
7. 7Serve the roasted plantain crisps immediately after they come out of the oven, alongside the prepared avocado dip.
