Crispy, golden, and loaded with the kind of bold flavor that makes you reach for another handful before the first one is even gone, these baked plantain chips are a seriously satisfying snack. Green plantains are the star here — sliced paper-thin and tossed in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric before hitting the oven. That combination of fresh herbs and warm spice creates something that feels far more elevated than your average chip. Store-bought snacks can be a minefield when you're avoiding flavor enhancers and additives, but every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — nothing hidden, nothing processed. The technique matters too: uniform slices, a single layer on the pan, and a flip halfway through are what stand between you and a chip that actually shatters when you bite it. A final scatter of fresh parsley adds a bright, clean finish that ties the whole thing together. These are best eaten right off the rack while they're still warm and at peak crunch.

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.
