These baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast — crispy, golden, and loaded with the kind of savory herb flavor that makes plain potato chips feel boring by comparison. Green plantains slice up beautifully thin and bake into satisfying, crunchy rounds that hold their own against any store-bought chip. The coating of coconut oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic does serious work here, giving every bite a fragrant, almost restaurant-quality depth. A touch of turmeric adds a warm, earthy undertone and a gorgeous golden color that makes the finished chips look as good as they taste. Because everything is made from whole, straightforward ingredients, you never have to second-guess what's in them or worry about shared-facility cross-contact from packaged snacks. The key to getting that perfect crunch is slicing the plantains as uniformly thin as possible and giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet — patience in the prep pays off big at the end. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve them right away while they're at peak crispiness.

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.
