Artificial Food Coloring Free Garlic Herb Plantain Chips

These crispy baked chips get their golden color and bold flavor entirely from real ingredients — turmeric, fresh rosemary, thyme, and garlic — with zero synthetic dyes or artificial additives anywhere in the mix. That's a bigger deal than it sounds, because most store-bought chip options, even the "natural" ones, can sneak in color additives or ambiguous flavoring blends that make label-reading a chore. Here, every bit of color comes from the turmeric and the oven doing its job, and every bit of flavor comes from herbs you can actually see and smell. Green plantains are the perfect base: sliced thin and baked in coconut oil, they turn shatteringly crisp in a way that feels indulgent but is completely straightforward to pull off at home. The garlic-herb coating is fragrant and savory, and the optional parsley finish adds a fresh pop right before serving. Just keep a close eye on the final few minutes in the oven — the garlic catches fast, and pulling them at the right moment is the difference between perfectly golden and bitter. Let them cool on a rack and they'll crisp up even further, making it very hard to stop at just a handful.
