Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Cut the plantains into 1/4-inch thick slices, either on the bias or into rounds, depending on your preference.
In a large bowl, toss the plantain slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the plantain slices and toss well to ensure even coating.
Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy as a keto-friendly snack or as a side dish to your favorite meal.
