Production & Sourcing
Plantain chips seasoned with chili are crafted by slicing ripe plantains into thin, uniform pieces. These slices are then fried to perfection in oil until they achieve a crispy and golden texture. Once fried, the chips are swiftly drained to remove excess oil. They are then seasoned with a blend of chili seasoning, which could include ground chili peppers, spices, and salt, providing a savory, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor.
