Mustard Free Ginger-Scallion Plantain Chips

Crunchy, golden, and loaded with bold flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Thin-sliced green plantains get tossed in melted coconut oil with fresh grated ginger and a touch of turmeric before hitting a hot oven, and the result is deeply savory with just enough warmth to keep you reaching for more. Scallion greens scattered over the chips right out of the oven add a fresh, slightly sharp finish that makes the whole thing feel a little fancy for something so simple. For anyone navigating mustard allergies or sensitivities, store-bought chips and seasoned snacks can be a minefield — spice blends and flavoring agents are notorious for sneaking in unexpected ingredients. This recipe keeps things completely transparent: every component is whole and easy to verify, with no spice packets or pre-mixed seasonings in sight. The flavoring comes entirely from fresh ginger, turmeric, and scallions, so you know exactly what you're eating. Getting the slices thin and uniform is the main trick here — a mandoline makes it easy, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. Let them cool fully on the pan and they'll crisp up beautifully without any frying required.
