Ingredients

  • Hummus:
  • A generous portion of tender cauliflower rice, cooked to perfection
  • Chopped roasted red peppers, about 4 ounces, carefully drained and prepared
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice, precisely 3 tablespoons for a zesty kick
  • Creamy tahini, 3 tablespoons to enhance the texture
  • Roughly chopped garlic clove, adding a hint of pungency
  • A touch of heat with ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • Warm notes of cumin, ½ teaspoon for depth of flavor
  • Sea salt, just the right amount at ½ teaspoon to season harmoniously
  • Plantain Chips:
  • Two vibrant green plantains, ripe for transformation
  • A drizzle of avocado oil, around 2 tablespoons or as needed for a crispy finish
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick
  • Smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon to infuse a smoky essence
  • Sprinkling of sea salt to taste, adding the perfect final touch

Step 1

Mix together cauliflower rice, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, cumin, and sea salt in a food processor. Blitz until the texture is smooth yet still slightly chunky, taking around 1 minute. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Step 2

Before beginning, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil and brushing with a coat of avocado oil.

Step 3

Using a mandoline slicer, carefully cut the plantains into thin chips. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets in a single layer.

Step 4

Brush each plantain chip lightly with avocado oil and then sprinkle with a mix of cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and sea salt.

Step 5

Bake the chips in the preheated oven using the convection setting until they turn golden brown and crispy, typically around 10 to 12 minutes. If your oven lacks a convection option, the chips may need a bit more time, so keep a close eye to prevent burning. Once done, transfer the chips to a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Serve the plantain chips alongside the flavorful roasted red pepper and cauliflower hummus for a tasty and wholesome snack.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your roasted red pepper and cauliflower dip in an airtight glass container to maintain its freshness and flavors.
  2. 2. Store the crunchy plantain chips in a resealable bag or container to ensure they stay crispy and delicious.
  3. 3. For easy access, place both the dip and the chips in the same section of your fridge or pantry for a convenient snack station.
