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 a coating of coconut oil, fresh ginger, and turmeric gives every chip a warm, aromatic kick that store-bought versions simply 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 for something so easy to pull off. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, packaged snacks can be a minefield of hidden additives and fermented ingredients β these chips sidestep all of that with a short, clean ingredient list you can read at a glance. The baking method is key: slicing the plantains as thin and uniform as possible ensures even browning, and letting them cool on the pan is what takes them from firm to genuinely crisp. A mandoline makes the job quick, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. These are the kind of chips you make once and then find yourself making every single week.

Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Score the skin of each plantain lengthwise with a knife, then peel. Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch (about 1.5 mm) or a sharp knife, slice the plantains crosswise into rounds as thin and uniform as possible β uneven slices will brown at different rates.
