These baked plantain chips are deeply savory, fragrant with fresh rosemary and thyme, and finished with a golden hit of turmeric that makes them look as good as they taste. Green plantains are the secret here — their lower sugar content means they crisp up beautifully in the oven rather than caramelizing into something sweet and soft. Coconut oil and minced garlic coat every slice before baking, so the flavor is baked right in rather than sprinkled on as an afterthought. The mandoline step is worth the extra effort: uniform slices are what stand between you and a chip that's actually crunchy all the way through. For anyone navigating a diet that rules out oats and oat-based snacks, this is the kind of satisfying crunch that genuinely fills that gap — no grains, no fillers, just whole ingredients you can actually name. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness and color that makes them feel almost fancy. Serve them straight from the rack while they're still warm, because they won't last long anyway.

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.
