3. Then, place the rack in the oven, leave to bake on one side for 8-12 minutes.
4. Once you have turned the plantain, leave to bake for another 8-12 minutes.
5. Leave to cool for 30 minutes and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

• In addition, you can deep fry plantain crisps instead. However, this is not as healthy as the baked crisps.
