Plantain strips are thinly sliced pieces of ripe or green plantains that are typically fried or baked until crisp. Originating from Caribbean, African, and Latin American cuisines, plantain strips are a popular snack or side dish known for their sweet and salty flavor combination when ripened or their starchy, savory profile when green. Made primarily from plantains, which are a rich source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, they offer some health benefits, such as supporting digestion and immune function. However, preparation methods like frying can increase the fat and calorie content, making them less ideal for regular consumption. Choosing baked or air-fried versions can reduce added fats while still delivering the satisfying crunch. Plantain strips pair well with dips or can be enjoyed on their own as a naturally flavorful treat.
