Crunchy, golden, and loaded with savory herb flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains get tossed in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric before going into a hot oven — the result is deeply aromatic and satisfyingly crisp. Because the seasoning relies entirely on fresh herbs, garlic, and spices, there's no hidden citrus to worry about, making this a genuinely safe and delicious option for anyone avoiding lemon, lime, or orange in their food. The key to getting that perfect crunch is slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible, then giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet so it bakes rather than steams. A final rest on a wire rack lets them firm up even more before you dig in. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little color and brightness without introducing anything off-limits. These are fantastic on their own, but they'd also hold up beautifully alongside a dip or served as a side to your favorite main.

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.
