So this post is meant for Emma H., a dedication if you wish. We both love plantains (member of the banana family), and being from the Caribbean, it is definitely one of our staple snacks. You can have them savoury or sweet once they have ripened. The master chef of these is not myself, but my dear old Daddio--its his speciality--however, I did add some extra seasonings that worked like a charm.

Although this is typically cut in circles and fried. However, we have long loved them long, thin, and baked as a healthy option. These are made from the unripened plantain which is savoury and a great substitute for potato crisps (US: potato chips).
