Shellfish Free Garlic Herb Plantain Chips
These baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears before they even make it to a bowl. Thin-sliced green plantains get tossed in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric before hitting a hot oven — the result is golden, fragrant, and seriously addictive. Because everything here is whole, plant-based, and made from scratch, there's zero guesswork about hidden seafood derivatives or shared-facility cross-contact that can sneak into store-bought chip brands. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the plantains as uniformly thin as possible and giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet so they crisp rather than steam. A quick flip halfway through and a few minutes on a wire rack to cool seals the deal — they firm up beautifully as they rest. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes them feel just a little fancy. Serve them straight away while they're at peak crunch, and don't be surprised if you find yourself making a second batch.
