Brunch/Lunch: egg casserole with chicken apple sausage and mushrooms, banana, coffee with coconut milk
Snack: apple with almond butter
Dinner: hamburgers (we made double last night) with caramelized onions, roasted broccoli and homemade plantain chips with salsa.
Today Sprouts had green plantains, so I decided to get a couple and try making homemade chips. They were pretty simple to make and they turned out really good. If you want to make chips, you need to get greenish plantains instead of yellow or brown (the green ones aren't quite ripe yet, but have the flavor, starchiness and consistency you need for crispy chips). They are tricky to peel - you have to slice the skin the length of the plantain and then peel from there. I sliced the chips by hand, but I'm sure you could use a food processor (but for the time it would take to clean the processor, I decided doing it by hand was easier).
After they are sliced, add olive oil (either spray or coat in a bowl), sprinkle with salt, lay out in a single layer on a baking sheet. I put them on a baking rack on top of the baking sheet to help air circulate. I baked them at 375 on convection for 8 minutes, then flipped them and baked for another 7 minutes until the edges were just brown.
The bowl of the finished product below only shows half of what I made. Pretty good little snack!
