Mr John’s are the best plantain chips I can’t stand hard ones but there’s are really chewy and sweet just like the ones I make at home 😊

[@obkidschannel2021]

Thanks for the video. Please what do you add to get that crispy taste especially the ripe ones? Can I use the soft ripe plantains?

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

You are welcome...to get the right level of crispy taste, it depends on the ripeness of the plantain. You don't want a plantain that's too soft/ripe. You should be able to hold your plantain without it melting in your hand. I hope this helps.

[@akinpelutemitope3270]

It looks lovely

[@gadripericles3034]

@creator. I really love fried ripe plantains and I have been trying to make some at home. Problem is, I feel like the plantain I’m using isn’t as sweet as the plantain chips I buy outside. Also, it’s always soggy, I can’t get it to be hard or crunchy like the ones I buy outside. How hot should the oil be when frying? Do I need to wash the plantain before putting it into the oil? And what’s the name of your slicer so I can look for one to buy?

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Okay, first the plantain you are using should not be too ripe. When your plantain is too ripe, you end up with soggy plantain.
In regards to the oil, it should be hot enough for frying normal plantain because if the oil is not hot, the plantain will soak up the oil while the oil is getting hot.
There's no need to wash the plantain. Wash the plantain with the skin on and then peel and slice directly into the hot oil. Slice plantain in very quickly.

Good day ma, thanks for the recipe, but ma I want to ask, for how long can it last or is there any preservatives that can be added.

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

You ate welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it.
If properly fried and dried, you can store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

There's no need for preservatives except you want to store for longer ❤

[@christianamotunrayo6736]

Thank you for this recipe ❤️ but please when should the pepper be added ??

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Pepper should be added as soon as it is off the fire before it cools down. Xx

My pleasure, thanks for watching

[@user-uo1fw8lc3p]

❤❤❤❤

[@user-of7cz7ru6c]

The sticky nature could not allow me to slice my ripe plantain like this, why

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

The plantain must have been too ripe.. use plantain that's ripe but not overly ripe.
All the best 👍🏾

[@jokebalogun6932]

How do you put spice on the plantain, because I see you’re frying immediately

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

For the ripe you spice after, it is fried and out of the oil.

[@stellaserwaa2027]

Thanks for sharing dear...I'll give it a try. Well done! Subscribed!👍

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

You are welcome. Thanks you means alot 💜

[@djdoink]

Hello lovely watch. So I tried making mine to keep as snacks. Kept in a Jar however it got back in a few days. I can't sundry cos of rodents pleade how else can I go about draining the oil and other moisture

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Thank you, how Ripe was the plantain you used? The plantain should not be over Ripe and the oil should be hot before putting the plantain in it. It seems like the plantain soaked up a lot of oil.

[@arabatachie-menson8690]

When do you add salt? Thanks.

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

For the ripe(sweet) you don't add salt.

[@lovelynpeters3908]

[@gospelhub7576]

how did you add the pepper

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

The pepper should be Sprinkled on the chips while it's still warm and airing.

[@CookingwithEfya]

This looks great 😊

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Thank you x

[@joyabieyuwa4641]

Thanks for sharing. If I want to add salt to the unripe one at what point should I do that and how? Thanks

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Try mixing salt and sugar together.
You want to add it little by little as it is frying .
Add the salt, stir it in properly whike its frying, allow it to fry for a bit, and then add some more.
I hope this helps x

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Once, you finished slicing the plantain into the oil, after it had fried halfway and when it is almost ready.

[@lovelynpeters3908]

Can it last for up to 3months without decaying

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Yes, it can last to up to 6 months. After frying, make sure it is properly aired and any excess oil is cleaned( patt off with kitchen towel) with a tissue before storing in an airtight container. All the best

[@IkimotMustapha-pi1cj]

How can I add the pepper to make it spicy

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Yes, you can add pepper. Right after you take it off the oil. You sprinkle your pepper and mix together. All the best 👍🏾

[@ritasunday5110]

Please I didn’t see you add the salt or pepper tho cos I really need tutorials on that

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

When frying the ripe, you don't need to add any salt. Except you want it to have that sweet-salty taste.
In regards, adding pepper. When you are done frying, and you have aired the plantain a bit while it is still warm, you add the pepper and mix and then allow to complete cool .

[@user-fc7ii4oc9e]

I need to ask you something ma

[@emmajones9975]

You sound very nervous. Take it easy

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Thanks.... I had a cold x

[@josephineopoku3708]

Why does my plantain chips always stick together 😭😭😭

[@le3mshandmadehaven]

Separating them after frying really helps, especially if you have used really ripe plantain.
I hope this helps when you try again 💜

[@danielowiredu9406]

There is no way you can add sugar when preparing Krakro as you did this okay. There is much sugar in the ripe plantain already. You don’t do this may you’re not from Ghana that is why.
