These baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast — crispy, golden, and loaded with the kind of herby, garlicky flavor that makes plain potato chips feel boring by comparison. Green plantains are the secret here; their lower sugar content means they bake up firm and crunchy rather than soft or caramelized. Coconut oil coats every slice and helps the rosemary, thyme, and turmeric cling beautifully, so each chip delivers a full hit of flavor rather than just a dusting. The turmeric adds a warm, earthy depth and a gorgeous golden hue without overpowering the fresh herbs. Slicing thin and keeping the chips in a single layer are the two non-negotiables — the recipe is upfront about this, and it genuinely makes the difference between a crisp chip and a chewy disappointment. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens everything up and makes the finished batch look as good as it tastes. Whether you're serving these alongside a dip or eating them straight off the rack, they're a seriously satisfying plant-based snack made entirely from real, whole ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
