Pecan 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 slice up beautifully thin and bake into satisfying, crispy rounds without any frying required — just coconut oil, fresh ginger, and a whisper of turmeric to give them a warm, earthy depth. The scallion greens get scattered over the chips straight out of the oven, so they soften just enough to cling to every slice and add a fresh, savory bite. It's a surprisingly elegant combination for something so simple to pull together. Store-bought chips can be a minefield when you're navigating shared production lines and ambiguous ingredient labels, so making your own is genuinely the better move here. Every ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and easy to verify, which means you can snack with total confidence. The mandoline step is worth the extra minute — uniform slices mean even browning and that satisfying, all-over crunch. Let them cool fully on the pan and they'll crisp up perfectly, no special equipment needed beyond a baking sheet and some parchment.
