Spicy Plantain Chips with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

• 2 large Green Plantains
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 medium Mango
• 1/4 cup Red Onion
• 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 1/2 small Jalapeño

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Peel the 2 large green plantains. Slice them thinly into chips, about 1/8-inch thick.
3. 3In a medium bowl, add the plantain slices, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Toss everything together until the plantain slices are evenly coated.
4. 4Arrange the coated plantain slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping.
5. 5Bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, carefully flip each plantain chip. The chips are done when they are golden brown and feel crispy.
6. 6While the plantain chips are baking, prepare the mango salsa. Dice the 1 medium mango, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup red bell pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the 2 tablespoons of cilantro. Mince the 1/2 small jalapeño (if you want it spicier).
7. 7In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and the minced jalapeño. Stir everything together.
8. 8Serve the crispy plantain chips immediately with the fresh mango salsa on the side.
