Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by adding the cooked cauliflower rice, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, cumin, and a pinch of sea salt to a food processor. Pulse everything together until the mixture is smooth but still has a bit of texture, which should take about a minute. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides once or twice to make sure everything blends evenly.

Step 2

Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with foil and give them a light brush of avocado oil to keep the chips from sticking.

Step 3

Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the plantains as thin as you can to get those perfect, crispy chips. Lay them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 4

Brush each chip lightly with avocado oil, then sprinkle on some cayenne, smoked paprika, and a little sea salt for a nice kick.

Step 5

Pop the trays in the oven on the convection setting if you have it, and bake the chips for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them—if you don’t have convection, they might take a bit longer, so watch closely so they don’t burn.

Step 6

Once they’re golden and crisp, take the chips out and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra oil.

Now, all that’s left is to serve your crunchy plantain chips alongside the flavorful roasted red pepper and cauliflower hummus. Enjoy!
