Artificial Flavors Free Garlic Herb Plantain Chips
Crunchy, savory, and deeply aromatic, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Every ingredient comes straight from your kitchen — green plantains, coconut oil, fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, and sea salt — so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in the bag. That matters more than people realize with store-bought chips, where "natural flavors" on the label can mean almost anything and artificial additives are often hiding in plain sight. Here, the flavor is entirely real: minced garlic and fresh herbs coat every thin slice before they go into the oven, building that savory punch the honest way. The trick to getting them genuinely crispy is slicing thin and giving each chip its own space on the pan — the instructions walk you through exactly that, including a flip halfway through for even browning. A final scatter of fresh parsley before serving keeps the whole thing bright and clean. These are the chips you make when you want something bold, satisfying, and completely straightforward about what's inside.

Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch thickness, or a sharp knife, slice the peeled plantains into rounds as uniformly thin as possible — aim for about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Uniform thickness is key; thicker slices will not crisp fully.
