Plantain Chips

Last week, I showed you how to make fried plantains and showed a picture of plantain chips.  This week I will show you how to make plantain chips.  

When making plantain chips, the plantains should not be as ripe.  The can be anywhere between green with some yellow to yellow with some black spots.  The riper the plantain the sweeter the chips will be.  I like to use plantains that are yellow with some black on them.
