How To Make Paleo Plantain Chips
Crispy plantain chips lightly dazzled with sea salt. Paleo and gluten free- these five minute plantain chips are made with only two ingredients, make them sweet or savory. They are a perfect healthy snack for on the go or at home!
Today I am going to demonstrate how to make plantain chips (yay!). I couldn’t be more excited. And for such a little thing, oh my. Ever had plantain chips? If not, it’s a must! I am so attached to these delicious chips. The earthly sweetness from the plantain mingling with a bit of sea salt… first of all it’s amazing. Second, it’s a healthy snack and it’s paleo.
Plantains can be cooked at different stages of ripeness. The greener the plantain, the less sugar content. And the more ripe (yellow) the plantain, the sweeter it will be. Either way, they both taste amazing! For this recipe, the plantains can be either ripe or green. Taste preference is the only difference.
PLANTAIN CHIP CRAZE!
Okay, so plantains are a huge hit in this house! I mean huge! Don’t leave a bag of plantain chips around… they will disappear:) Because of this, I may have been known to hide a bag or two under my bed from time to time. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 whole plantain ripe and soft
- sea salt flakes to taste

Hi Kaylie, will the plantain chips last like regular chips? Meaning can I make them a week or two ahead in preparation for a car ride or something? Thanks!;)
I’m actually not sure how long they last, because they are always gone before I can store any:) You could probably store them for at least 4 days, you could test it out for longer.
What about the peel? How do you get it off?
Just peel it like a banana.
any good sauces to dip these in?
Hi Ashley, here are a few sauces: https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/dairy-free-yogurt-tzatziki-dip/, https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/garlic-lime-cashew-hummus/, https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/5-minute-creamy-whole30-ranch/. Also, avocado is a great pair for these!
Kaylie, my plantain chips always come out soft and soggy, instead of crispy. Any advice?
Oh no! It might be because the size is different and doesn’t need as much oil- try cutting them thinner and use less oil when cooking. 🙂
I love this recipe! Some other ones require ingredients that are too expensive. I love the 3 ingredients only too. Defintely will try this.
Very Yummy, must try recipe.
