Plantain chips are a crispy, flavorful snack made from thinly sliced plantains, a starchy fruit similar to bananas. Popular in Caribbean, African, and Latin American cuisines, they are traditionally fried or baked and often seasoned with salt or spices for added taste. Plantain chips are a source of dietary fiber, essential vitamins such as A and C, and minerals like potassium, which support immune function and muscle health. However, they can be high in calories and fat, especially when deep-fried or prepared with oil, making moderation important for a balanced diet. Baked varieties or those prepared with minimal oil are a healthier alternative, reducing unnecessary fat while still delivering the natural sweetness of plantains. Whether enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with dips, plantain chips offer a delicious way to explore global flavors while balancing nutritional benefits and indulgent qualities.
