Homemade Plantain Chips Recipe - A Perfect Lunch Treat For Kids
Good afternoon from the part of the world, my name is Mistural and I'd welcome you all to my food blog.
Today I decided to give my followers something different, I've made series of food recipe but today I want to make an easy recipe than can be enjoy by both parents and kids. Plantain Chips, this is a unique recipe that is perfect for lunch,kids can take it to school and have it during lunch break.
Plantain chips made at home taste far better than those purchased in supermarkets, so I decided to give it a try at home, where the Plantain and other ingredients are readily available.
This is a recipe of a wonderful and crunchy Plantain chips, ideal for your children's snacks on their way to school or as a lunch when they returned home. I made this chips for lunch, but I couldn't finish them, so I kept some for my mother and gave the rest to the local kids, who raved over them.
The Ingredients
The Plantain (Unripe)
Sealed Vegetable Oil
Red Pepper
Garlic
Finally Salt to Taste.
Step 1: The first step is to thoroughly clean your unripe plantain with clean water, then peel it with a knife or a cutter and cut it to your desired size (the size of the chip you want).
Step 2: Get a spoon and a plate, then place the salt inside the spoon and melt it with water, ensuring that the water is pure. Now sprinkle the salt water on the Plantain you have cut. Leave for like 3 minutes for the salt to penetrate the Plantain. As you can see in the second picture below.
Step 3: Now wash your Red pepper and Garlic, the sliced it and add a pinch of salt.
Step 4: This is a secret my friend told me; she said that if I don't want my Plantain Chips to gum together, I should fry them with a sealed Vegetable Oil.
So I heated the frying pan on a low medium heat for a minute or two, then added the oil (Make sure there's plenty of oil since we're going to deep fry the Plantain to make them extra strong).
Step 5: Add the sliced Red pepper and Garlic, then allow it to fry for few seconds
Step 6: Add your Plantain, and fry till it become brown and strong, turn the plantain to the other side and fry till it become brown and strong.
Step 6: Switch off the heat, the remove the Plantain from the oil and put in a sifter to drain the remaining oil, and here we go the Plantain chips is ready.
Allow it to cool off, then pack it if you want, you can as well serve with some chilled drinks or share with your family and neighbors If you have one.
