Are they suppose to be cripy but not so hard that I can only eat 1 at a time. Any idea on where I went wrong? <br /><br />When I baked it, the 12minutes baking time, the chips were still soft. I baked until it was hard. My baking time was more like 40 minutes. Any ideas on where I went wrong?<br /><br />Thanks!Webmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453234485750238662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-90119362496799170092013-03-15T08:31:24.930-07:002013-03-15T08:31:24.930-07:00Hi there,

That would result in the inside of the chips getting soft while the outside looks like it is golden brown and done. Next time try cutting them slightly thinner :) Hope this helps! <br />Alica Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056357592113316279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-57295725330010446902012-07-25T09:13:43.591-07:002012-07-25T09:13:43.591-07:00So I tried this baking process.

I lived near Spanish Harlem so cuban and puerto rican influences were abundant. Perhaps I used too much oil? Or perhaps I didn't cut them thin enough.?DCY Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721658985508839791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-21591694763264297632012-07-25T07:16:28.719-07:002012-07-25T07:16:28.719-07:00Thank you for this!

You're break down of the difference tween frying and baking made it simple to figure out what I wanted. The baked kind. Now I have to try it. <br />Question : how do you hold the plantain while trying to use the mandolin?

My friends have been asking for healthier alternatives to their favorite Caribbean foods recently so that's part of my new endeavor with the blog.Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056357592113316279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-87992859256540460652010-12-11T04:55:02.903-08:002010-12-11T04:55:02.903-08:00This is an outstanding post.

I use a mandoline slicer so I get wafer thin slices so my gets crisp all the way through. Also, I shallow/fry instead of deep frying. Now all this talk makes me want to have plantain chips.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-14990718151542673702010-12-08T07:40:01.072-08:002010-12-08T07:40:01.072-08:00I think I'll try this!I think I'll try this!Pruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949565777582766371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760580976988145021.post-50328629249537211072010-12-03T14:13:01.569-08:002010-12-03T14:13:01.569-08:00This looks so great.
