Black Bean Hummus with Plantain Chips

**Make the Hummus:** In a food processor, combine the black beans, tahini, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Process until smooth.

Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

**Prepare the Plantain Chips:** Preheat oven to 400F (200C) or air fryer to 350F (175C).

Peel the green plantains. The skin is tough, so you might need a knife to score it lengthwise before peeling.

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the plantains into rounds.

Toss the plantain slices with oil and salt.

Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. If using an air fryer, place in a single layer in the basket.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. (Air fryer: 8-10 minutes)

Let the plantain chips cool slightly before serving.

**Serve:** Transfer the black bean hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder (optional). Serve with the crispy plantain chips for dipping.
