    Power-Up Plantain Chips

    How to make healthy, low calorie, low fat, plantain chips. These plantain chips are ridiculously EASY to make. Plus, they're the perfect healthy snack. The Diet Chef #HealthyPlantainchips #WeightWatchers

    Before moving to Florida for college I don't think I could've told you what a plantain was. However, I quickly learned just how amazingly delicious these banana impostors are. The only problem with ordering plantains at a restaurant, or buying the chips in the store, is the unnecessarily high fat content that usually comes with your purchase. After experimenting a bit in my kitchen, I was able to make fat-free plantain chips that are as crispy, crunchy, and down-right delightful as the deep-fried store bought version.
