What Are Plantain Chips?
Plantain chips are thin slices of plantain (a starchy relative of the banana) that are fried or baked until crisp. Popular across Nigeria, Ghana, and wider West Africa, they range from sweet (made with ripe, yellow plantain) to savory and spicy (made with unripe, green plantain).
