How to make Sweet spicy plantain chips recipe

Sweet, crispy, spicy, crunchy. Those are the best words used to describe this tasty delight. This is one snack i always have tucked in my stash as it always comes in handy when i need to nibble on something. The key to getting the perfect crunch is all about picking the right plantains. Unlike the unripe plantain chips which is made using green plantains as shown previously, it's best to use the semi ripe plantains that's just about turning yellow for this to get that "Sweet" taste. Also, the thinner you slice it, the better. It's really quite easy to make as i'm about to show you.

Ingredients:::
• 2 Semi ripe plantains (almost yellow but not)
• 1 tsp. pepper to taste - Optional
• Salt - A pinch
• 1 tsp. Sugar - Optional
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:::
Step 1: Peel the Semi-ripe plantain with a knife and slice the plantain into thin circles as shown
Step 2: Place the sliced plantain in a bowl of water mixed with salt and rinse. This is done to remove excess starch. Drain off the excess water from the plantain and pat dry.
Step 3: Place the dry plantain in a bowl, add salt, pepper and sugar, mix and fry in pre-heated vegetable oil till brown and crisp. Remove immediately from the oil and drain on a paper towel as oil has the tendency to make the plantain soft. To get that extra crispy crunch, bake in a pre-heated oven for some more time before removing.

Step 4: Leave to cool completely and Serve or store in an airtight container.

It is ready to serve!!!
