Chifles

Several yellow banana chips in a shallow white bowl with a small dish of red powder, on newspaper.

Chifles are thinly sliced plantain chips, very popular snacks from Ecuador. These delicious chips are also called chicharitas, mariquitas, platanutres or platanias, depending on the Latin American country or region. We fry ours in an Airfryer to make them healthier.
