Crispy, golden, and loaded with the kind of savory depth that makes it hard to stop at just one handful, these oven-baked plantain chips are a seriously satisfying snack. Coconut oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, and a hint of ground ginger coat every thin slice before baking, so the flavor is built right in — no mystery seasonings, no preservative-laden seasoning packets. That matters a lot when you're avoiding BHA and BHT, since those synthetic antioxidants hide in a surprising number of packaged chips and snack foods, often buried in the fine print. Making your own means you know exactly what's going in, and with just a handful of whole, recognizable ingredients, the ingredient list stays completely clean. The mandoline technique is the real secret here — getting those slices uniformly thin is what separates a genuinely crispy chip from a chewy, disappointing one. They come out of the oven smelling incredible and crisp up even further as they cool on the rack, so patience pays off. Whether you're serving them at a party or just snacking straight off the baking sheet, these are the kind of homemade chips that make store-bought feel like a downgrade.

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 be chewy rather than crisp.
