Cashew Free Ginger-Scallion Plantain Chips

Crunchy, golden, and loaded with bold flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains get sliced paper-thin and tossed in melted coconut oil with fresh ginger and a touch of turmeric before hitting a hot oven, giving each chip a warm, earthy depth that store-bought versions rarely deliver. The scallion greens go on right out of the oven, softening just enough against the hot chips to mellow their sharpness into something almost savory-sweet. Getting the slices uniformly thin is the real key here — a mandoline makes it easy, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, bagged chips can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings and mystery seasonings. This recipe keeps things clean and straightforward: every ingredient is whole, recognizable, and naturally free of nuts. The coconut oil brings a subtle richness without any of the cross-contact concerns that come with processed snack foods. These chips crisp up beautifully as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them straight off the pan — give them five minutes and you'll be rewarded with a satisfying crunch in every bite.
