Gluten 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 bring a satisfying starchiness that crisps up beautifully in the oven, and the combination of fresh ginger, turmeric, and coconut oil gives every chip a warm, aromatic kick that store-bought snacks just can't match. Scallion greens scattered over the hot chips right out of the oven add a fresh, savory finish that makes the whole thing feel a little fancy without any extra effort. For anyone navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, the snack aisle can be a minefield of questionable coatings and shared-facility warnings. This recipe sidesteps all of that by relying entirely on whole, naturally gluten-free ingredients — no flour, no starch fillers, nothing to second-guess. The key to getting that perfect crunch is slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible, then giving them enough space on the pan so they bake rather than steam. They firm up even more as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them straight off the sheet — though that's admittedly very hard to do.
