BHA & BHT Free Cinnamon Sweet Plantain Chips

Sweet, caramelized, and warmly spiced, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect snack-food spot between crispy and satisfying. Ripe plantains — the kind with yellow skins gone spotty black — bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with fragrant Ceylon cinnamon, meaning you don't need a long list of additives to make something genuinely craveable. That's exactly the point: coconut oil, sea salt, and an optional drizzle of honey are all you need to get deep golden edges and a satisfying crunch straight from your own oven. Store-bought chips and snack foods are some of the trickiest products to navigate when avoiding synthetic preservatives, since BHA and BHT show up in packaging materials and oils without much fanfare on the label. Making these at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient that touches the pan. The baking method here is key — slicing thin, spreading in a single layer, and flipping halfway through ensures even heat and real crispness without any chemical shortcuts. A five-minute rest on the pan after baking lets them firm up to that satisfying snap. They're the kind of snack you'll want to make on repeat.
