Crispy, 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 hitting the oven, and the result is something genuinely special — earthy, fragrant, and satisfying in a way that plain potato chips rarely are. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, packaged snack foods can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings, so making your own batch at home with a clean, simple ingredient list is a real relief. The key to getting that perfect crunch is slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible — a mandoline makes this easy — and giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet so nothing steams. They firm up even more as they cool on the rack, so resist the urge to eat them straight from the oven (or don't, we won't judge). A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness that ties the whole herb situation together beautifully.

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.
