MSG Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains roasted with coconut oil, honey, and warm spices are one of those simple pleasures that feel far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The natural sugars in deeply ripened plantains — look for those yellow skins heavily freckled with black — caramelize beautifully in a hot oven, creating edges that are slightly crisp while the centers stay soft and almost custardy. Ceylon cinnamon brings a delicate, floral warmth that pairs perfectly with the subtle heat of ginger, and the whole thing comes together with just a drizzle of honey and a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, which means there's zero concern about hidden additives or flavor enhancers sneaking into your snack. Packaged plantain chips and store-bought snacks can be a minefield of unnecessary additives, so making these at home puts you completely in control. Flip them halfway through baking to get that deep golden color on both sides, and serve them warm straight from the pan — they're wonderful on their own, alongside rice dishes, or even as a naturally sweet dessert.
