NUMBER ONE BBQ plantain chips are thin fried slices of plantain, seasoned with a smoky, lightly sweet barbecue flavour. A West African snack sold in an 85 g bag, made in Colombia.
What are BBQ plantain chips?
Plantain is a cooking banana, a staple ingredient of West African cuisine (alloco in Ivory Coast, kelewele in Ghana) and Caribbean cuisine (tostones, mofongo). Fried in thin slices then flavoured with a BBQ seasoning (smoke, paprika, spices), these NUMBER ONE chips keep the crispy texture of fried plantain. They are made in Colombia, where plantain is also part of the local cuisine, in the form of patacones.
How to enjoy them?
Open the bag and serve the chips as they are, at room temperature, for the aperitif or a tasty break. They go well with a cold drink or a bissap juice, and pair with sauces such as guacamole or a spicy sauce. Once the bag is open, reseal it well or transfer the chips to an airtight container to keep their crunch.
What to pair them with?
To vary the flavours, try the NUMBER ONE salted plantain chips or the NUMBER ONE garlic plantain chips. The guide to Ivorian alloco and the article plantain vs banana present this fruit in all its forms. The full range is in the plantain collection.
