What you need

3 tablespoons Tessemae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing

What to do
- Heat your oven to 400. Peel and very thinly slice the plantains on the diagonal, using a mandolin, Japanese mandolin, or one of those handy slicers you can generally get in the grocery store these days.
- Toss them with the Lemon Garlic on a rimmed baking sheet, then divide between 2 sheets so they are in a single layer. Bake until crisp and just beginning o brown, 8- 12 minutes. (The thicker the chips, the longer the cooking time!)
- In a food processor process the nuts until ground. Add the arugula, parsley, and chives and process until ground.
- With the motor running, add Lemon Garlic. Puree until creamy, stopping and scraping down the sides of the processor with a rubber spatula as needed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with the chips.
