Plantain chips are thinly sliced plantains, typically deep-fried or baked until crisp, making them a popular snack or side dish in Caribbean, Latin American, and African cuisines. These golden, crunchy bites are made from green or semi-ripe plantains, lightly seasoned with salt or spices to enhance their flavor. Plantains are a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, contributing to digestive health and supporting the immune system. However, the preparation method greatly affects their nutritional profile. Deep-fried versions tend to be high in calories and unhealthy fats, which may not suit weight-conscious or heart-healthy diets. Baked plantain chips offer a lighter alternative, preserving much of the plantain's natural goodness. Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with dips and salsas, plantain chips are a delicious way to savor the versatility and nutritional benefits of this tropical fruit.
