Made from thinly sliced, lightly fried and seasoned plantain slices, this snack is very popular across much of South America and the Caribbean. They can easily be found pre-packaged in local grocery stores, sold by street vendors or homemade. These tasty chips have a flavour more akin to potato chips than banana chips. They can be served as appetizers, as accompaniment for guacamole, or as a healthy snack, as they are an excellent alternative to regular chips.
