It’s the age old question: are you more of a salty or sweet kind of person? Many of you may think that I’m #teamsugar (I mean, this blog IS called Sugar Agenda) but what you may not know is that I’m an absolute fiend for savory treats as well. Popcorn, potato chips, pretzels – I love them all. One of my absolute favorite salty snacks are plantain chips but unfortunately for me, they’re sometimes hard to find in my area. I came up with these banana chips as an alternative that I could make at home!

Easy as 1-2-3…4!

This recipe is SO simple. It only calls for four ingredients – three of which are pantry items! All you need are bananas, olive oil, salt and paprika. The paprika is a must – it’s what makes the chips super savory and gives them that extra kick of flavor. 

Green Means Go

The most important thing to remember when making these banana chips is that you have to use underripe, green bananas. This best mimics the taste and texture of a plantain and gives the chips the best chance to get super crispy. Save the ripe bananas for a smoothie bowl, banana bread or banana pancakes!
