How to peel a green plantain
Plantain doesn't peel easily as a banana does. With a knife, make 3-4 cuts on the edges lengthwise of the plantain and remove the peel.
The fresher the plantain, the easier it is to peel it.
How to store plantain chips
Once the chips are cold, store them in an airtight container keep them in a dry place like the pantry for up to 4 months. I use these glass jars to store mine.
