Crunchy, golden, and packed with bold flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains bring a satisfying starchiness that crisps up beautifully in the oven, while coconut oil, fresh ginger, and ground turmeric do the heavy lifting on both flavor and function β all three are celebrated for their anti-inflammatory properties. The scallion greens scattered over the hot chips at the end add a fresh, savory finish that makes these feel genuinely special rather than just "healthy." Baking instead of frying keeps things clean and lets every ingredient shine without any competing oils or additives. Getting the slices thin and uniform is the real key here β a mandoline makes it effortless, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. These are a fantastic alternative to store-bought chips, which often sneak in refined oils or inflammatory additives that quietly undermine an otherwise clean diet. Let them cool fully on the pan and you'll be rewarded with a crisp, snappy chip that's hard to believe came from just a handful of wholesome ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Score the skin of each plantain lengthwise with a knife, then peel. Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch (about 1.5 mm) or a sharp knife, slice the plantains crosswise into rounds as thin and uniform as possible β uneven slices will brown at different rates.
