I love a good, healthy snack, especially during movie nights with my other half (when the toddler’s asleep). Some of my favorites include dried mangoes, popcorn (all kinds), taro chips and plantain chips!! The latter can be quite costly when you buy them in stores. May I add, one bag just isn’t enough for a 1.5 hour long movie. Alright, it is unavoidable that the accountant in me is doing all the math, but to break it down further, I can spend just $1 on 3 fresh green plantains and several minutes of my time making batches of plantain chips in my air fryer! Yaass!
