Spiced Plantain Chips with Peanut-Free Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 large Green Plantains
• 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Sunflower Seed Butter
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2-3 tablespoons Water

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Carefully peel the 2 large green plantains. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice each plantain into very thin rounds, about 1/16-inch (1.5 mm) thick.
3. 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plantains with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of ground ginger, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss everything together until the plantain slices are evenly coated.
4. 4Spread the seasoned plantain slices in a single layer on one or two large baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
5. 5Bake the plantains in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. After 10-12 minutes, carefully flip each plantain slice to ensure even cooking, then continue baking until they are golden brown and crispy to the touch.
6. 6While the plantains are baking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of sunflower seed butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired creamy consistency.
7. 7Serve the warm, crispy spiced plantain chips immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
