Xanthan Gum Free Garlic-Rosemary Plantain Chips

Crunchy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, these baked plantain chips are seasoned with minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and a hint of ground ginger for a snack that feels anything but ordinary. Green plantains are the star here — their starchy, firm flesh holds up beautifully in the oven and crisps into something genuinely addictive. Coconut oil coats every slice and helps the edges turn golden without a drop of anything processed or gummy, making this a naturally clean recipe from start to finish. Many packaged chips and flavored snacks rely on stabilizers and thickeners that can be hard to avoid, so making your own batch at home puts you completely in control of what goes into the bag. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible — a mandoline makes this easy — and giving the chips a flip halfway through so both sides bake evenly. They firm up even more as they cool on the rack, so resist the urge to snack straight from the oven. Serve them alongside a dip, pile them next to a sandwich, or just eat them by the handful — they disappear fast either way.
