Artificial Flavors Free Cinnamon Sweet Plantain Chips
Ripe plantains, coconut oil, Ceylon cinnamon, sea salt, and a drizzle of honey — that's the entire lineup here, and every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is. Store-bought flavored chips are notorious for hiding synthetic flavor compounds behind vague terms like "natural and artificial flavors," which makes snacking feel like a guessing game. Baking these at home puts you fully in control, and the result is a genuinely crave-worthy chip with warm, spiced sweetness and golden, caramelized edges. Ceylon cinnamon brings a delicate, floral heat that's noticeably more nuanced than the standard supermarket variety, and it coats every slice beautifully alongside the coconut oil. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing thin, keeping the chips in a single layer, and letting them finish crisping on the pan after they come out of the oven. These are the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet enough to feel like a treat, simple enough to make on a weeknight without a second thought.
