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, fresh rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric before hitting the oven — the result is deeply aromatic and satisfying in a way that most store-bought chips simply can't match. Many packaged chip alternatives sneak in sweeteners like honey or agave to balance savory flavors, but this recipe relies entirely on fresh herbs and garlic to do that work, so there's nothing hidden to worry about. The turmeric adds a warm, earthy undertone and a gorgeous golden hue without overpowering the herbs. Slicing the plantains thin and evenly is the real secret to getting that satisfying crunch — a mandoline makes it effortless, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. They crisp up beautifully on the wire rack as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them straight from the pan. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and makes the whole bowl look as good as it tastes.

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.
