How to fry plantains using a Halogen Oven

Plantains are one of the most commonly eaten food items in Nigeria and for many people, fried plantains are their preferred choice for eating. Plantains are available all the year round in Nigeria and it's a good source of carbohydrates and vitamins.

For those Nigerians who like eating fried plantains but don't want to fry them using a traditional gas or kerosene cooker, there is hope and for those men who like eating them but can hardly fry them without getting it burnt, this is an easy way. All you need to fry plantain chips in Nigeria today is a halogen oven. With a halogen oven, the ripe plantains and a bit of oil, you are good to go.

I would like to share this recipe of how I make fried plantain chips using a halogen oven and what I like about it is that you can control the amount of oil you use in frying them so that they don't get soaked up in a lot of oil. You can choose to add a little oil or a lot of oil and roast/fry them for about 20 to 30 minutes without getting it burnt or over-fried.
