Almond Free Garlic Herb Plantain Chips

These baked plantain chips are deeply savory, fragrant with fresh rosemary and thyme, and finished with a golden hit of turmeric that makes them look as good as they taste. Green plantains are the secret here — their low sugar content and firm starch structure are exactly what you need to get that satisfying, audible crunch in the oven rather than a fryer. Coconut oil carries the garlic and herbs into every slice, so the flavor isn't just on the surface but baked right in. The mandoline step is worth the extra minute of setup, because uniform thickness is what separates truly crispy chips from chewy, uneven ones. Spreading them in a single layer and flipping halfway through gives each chip the dry heat it needs to firm up properly, and the wire rack rest at the end lets them finish crisping without going soggy. Store-bought snack chips can be a minefield of shared facilities and mystery seasonings, so making your own means you know exactly what went into the bowl. Scatter on the fresh parsley right before serving and watch them disappear fast.
