Crunchy, golden, and loaded with herby flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin, then tossed in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric before hitting the oven — no dairy anywhere in sight, which makes them a genuinely satisfying option for anyone navigating lactose sensitivity. The coconut oil does double duty here, helping each slice crisp up beautifully while carrying all those aromatics into every bite. Slicing uniformly and keeping the chips in a single layer are the two moves that separate truly crunchy chips from sad, chewy ones, so a mandoline is your best friend if you have one. That final rest on the wire rack is where the magic happens — they firm up even more as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them straight off the pan. A scatter of fresh parsley right before serving adds a bright pop of color and a little extra freshness. These are the kind of homemade chips that make you wonder why you ever reached for a bag at the store.

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.
