Crispy Nigerian Plantain Chips (Golden & Crunchy Snack)

Growing up, plantain chips were everywhere — roadside vendors, school snack bags, family get-togethers. That irresistible crunch is pure nostalgia for me. What makes mine special? I slice them thin, season just right, and fry them to that perfect deep golden colour — no sogginess, just crunch in every bite. My favourite way to eat them is straight from the bowl while they're still warm, maybe with a cold drink on the side. Simple, addictive, and so very Nigerian.

  1. 1

    Prep the plantains
    Wash and peel the plantains, then slice them thinly and evenly into your desired shape. Even slices ensure uniform frying.

  3. 3

    Fry to golden perfection
    Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the plantain slices in a single layer. Fry, stirring gently from time to time, until both sides are evenly golden and crispy. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
