Fellow foodies, how's the rumbling in your tummy? I promised to make a video about making plantain chips aka Kpekere and here it is! Clap for me! Clap for my mom too because she was the one who came around with a huge bunch of unripe plantain that would have wasted if she didn't suggest making chips with them-it's a great way to preserve plantain and nice for snacking + serving guest. So if you visit me in the next couple of weeks na kpekere you go chop belleful.
It should be the most easiest thing to cook, I mean, look at the recipe below and watch the video. Ehen, hope you've subscribed to my Youtube Channel? Big things are happening there oh and I'm getting close to 10,000 subscribers; help me reach it ! Click HERE
INGREDIENTS
- Unripe plantain (you can use ripe plantain but unripe in my opinion is crunchier and healthier)
- Vegetable oil (healthy alternative is to bake your plantain chips)
- Salt (optional)
- Pepper (optional)
- Onions (optional but it is great for it's flavour)
RECIPE
- Peel plantain and slice with a sharp knife, make sure you slice as thin as possible.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper then mix together.
- Heat a pan of vegetable oil, then add a whole/half bulb of onions- the onions adds a delightful flavour.
- When the oil is hot, add the chips one by one (to avoid clumping).
- Fry for about 3-5 minutes.
- Take out and drain.
Like I said earlier- the healthy alternative is to place the plantain in the oven to bake :)
Seriously, that's all!

ReplyDeleteVery good snack, anytime I over-buy unripe plantain that is my best way to preserve it. Plus store it in ziploc bag in the cabinet portion of your fridge and it stays fresh as ever.
