I hate to admit this, but I’ve always been a trend-follower. I just had to have the newest Beanie Baby, light up shoes and Spice Girls paraphernalia. For the most part I truly believe there is a reason something becomes trend-worthy, usually because it’s actually good. Except for furbies…mine annoyed the hell out of me and I ended up throwing it out of a tree house after a week.

OMG I collected beanie babies and was convinced they would bring me so much money one day! Drats!
These look delicious. And I certainly think of you as a leader by combining the 2 trends 😉 DOn’t sell yourself short silly!

Looks interesting, I’ll try this recipe soon 🙂
Do you use ripe plantains or ones with green skin?
Davida @TheHealthyMaven
yellowish ones. I wouldn’t call them ripe but definitely more yellow. I’m sure they would work with green ones too though!
Thank, Davida. 🙂 I’ve been filling my oven with apple chips and apple leather, and I know these babies’ll be right at home with those fall goodies. And, though my SO is lovin the chips and leather, he is head over heels for plantain chips and will be super psyched about finding these in his lunchbox! 🙂

This looks super! I love the idea of the chips with seasonal kick.
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies
Ooh, I love the idea of combining plantain + pumpkin spice–awesome!

What a healthy pumpkin snack, I would be crunching on these babies all day!

Loved that post from Charlotte! And yeah, I have to admit that I tend to be a bit of a follower…damn curiosity always gets the best of me…but I have to say, for the most part, it tends to work out in my favor…wait, let’s just forget about that perm I got in the fifth grade, mmmkay? Unfortunately, I haven’t jumped on the plantain train (bonus points for rhyming) just yet…I’ve never been a huge fan of them in the past, but Laura is trying to convince me that I just haven’t had a good one! I have to say those flatbreads the twins are always popping out do look pretty tasty… haha!
PS, PUMPKIN SPICE ALL THE THINGS. Reply

Haha. I’ve always been anti-trend. When everyone was addicting to watching Beverly Hills 90210, I refused to watch it. When everyone had those Samba shoes, I wouldn’t buy them! As I got older, I decided I’d compromise a little and if everyone was buying some item of clothing, I would buy it too but in a color no one else had 🙂 I don’t think pumpkin/pumpkin-spice is so much a trend as just a seasonal flavor that everyone enjoys. I love that you added it to plantain chips!!
Davida @TheHealthyMaven
I feel like I should embarrassed that I LOVED BH 90210!

Sometimes it’s good to be a follower! I love that you don’t need a food dehydrate for this recipe. Can’t wait to give this recipe a try!
Davida @TheHealthyMaven
Gotta get creative when you don’t own a dehydrator!

Ha Ha, dying of laughter about the furbie story – especially since I threw mine down the stairs and tried to get my dog to eat it. No such luck :X
Anyways… this recipe is awesome, except I haven’t been able to find any plantains out here in Kuwait.
