Wheat Free Ginger-Scallion Plantain Chips

Crunchy, golden, and packed with bold flavor, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains bring a naturally starchy, neutral base that crisps up beautifully in the oven — no frying, no wheat-based coatings, just clean, simple ingredients doing all the work. The coconut oil, fresh ginger, and turmeric create a warm, aromatic coating that makes every chip taste intentional rather than plain. Scallion greens scattered over the hot chips right out of the oven add a fresh, savory finish that takes the whole thing up a notch. For anyone navigating wheat-free snacking, store-bought chips can be a minefield of hidden starches and shared-facility warnings. Making these at home means you know exactly what went into the bowl. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible — a mandoline makes this easy — and giving each slice enough room on the pan so nothing steams. They firm up even more as they cool, so resist the urge to judge them straight from the oven.
