Crunchy, golden, and loaded with the kind of savory herb flavor that makes it hard to stop at just one handful, these baked plantain chips are a seriously satisfying snack. Green plantains are the star here — their firm, starchy texture is exactly what you need to get that satisfying snap without any leavening agents in sight, making this naturally free of yeast in every sense. Coconut oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and a touch of turmeric coat every thin slice before they hit the oven, so the flavor is baked right in rather than sprinkled on as an afterthought. The key is slicing uniformly thin and giving each chip its own space on the pan — crowding leads to steaming, and steaming is the enemy of crunch. A quick flip halfway through and a few minutes on a wire rack to cool is all it takes to get that deep, chip-shop crispness at home. Store-bought snack options can be a minefield of hidden additives and fermented ingredients, so making your own batch means you know exactly what went into every chip. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve immediately for maximum crunch.

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.
