Red Meat Allergy Friendly Garlic Herb Plantain Chips

These baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast — crispy, golden, and loaded with the fragrant punch of fresh rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Green plantains are the secret here; their lower sugar content means they bake up firm and crunchy rather than soft and sweet, giving you that satisfying chip texture without any frying. Coconut oil coats every slice and helps the herbs cling beautifully, while a touch of ground turmeric adds a warm, earthy depth and a gorgeous golden hue. Because this recipe is built entirely from whole plants and a clean fat, there's nothing to second-guess for anyone navigating a red meat allergy — no hidden animal-derived additives, no cross-contamination concerns from a shared fryer. The key moves are slicing thin and giving each chip its own space on the pan, so the oven's dry heat can work its magic instead of steaming the slices soft. A final scatter of fresh parsley right before serving keeps things bright and a little fancy. These are genuinely hard to stop eating straight off the rack.
