Crunchy, golden, and loaded with the kind of herby garlic flavor that makes it impossible to stop at just one, 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 gives every chip a depth that most store-bought snacks can only dream of. For anyone navigating a rice-free lifestyle, packaged chips and crackers can be a minefield of hidden starches, so having a go-to homemade option like this is genuinely useful. The technique is straightforward but intentional — uniform slices, a single layer on the pan, and a flip halfway through are what stand between you and a truly crisp result. They firm up even more as they cool on the rack, so resist the urge to eat them straight off the sheet. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little color and brightness that makes the whole platter look as good as it tastes.

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.
