Instructions
- 1.**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.
- 2.Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- 3.**Prepare the Plantain Chips:** Preheat oven to 400F (200C) or air fryer to 350F (175C).
- 4.Peel the green plantains. The skin is tough, so you might need a knife to score it lengthwise before peeling.
- 5.Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the plantains into rounds.
- 6.Toss the plantain slices with oil and salt.
- 7.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.
- 8.Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. (Air fryer: 8-10 minutes)
- 9.Let the plantain chips cool slightly before serving.
- 10.**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.

Chef's Tips
For a smokier flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the hummus.
If you don't have plantains, use pita bread, carrots or celery for dipping.
Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Store plantain chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
