Notes
The first time I made these, I cut the slices thicker, so it took around 30 minutes and it baked evenly. But this time I made it very thin, so it was getting burnt very soon. I think I should have reduced the oven temperature.
Taste & Texture
The taste and texture of these baked plantain chips is exactly same as that of those fried in oil. Using coconut oil makes it even better.
