Alpha Gal Friendly Honey Cinnamon Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and kissed with warm spice, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-salty snack spot without a single ingredient that could cause concern for those managing an alpha-gal allergy. Every component here — green plantains, coconut oil, honey, sea salt, and Ceylon cinnamon — is entirely plant-derived or from a safe source, so there's no need to scrutinize a store-bought snack label or worry about hidden mammalian byproducts sneaking into your afternoon crunch. The coconut oil does double duty, helping each thin round crisp up beautifully in the oven while keeping the recipe completely free of butter or dairy fats. Ceylon cinnamon brings a gentler, more floral warmth than the standard grocery-store variety, and paired with a light honey drizzle added right out of the oven, the result tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. Slicing the plantains uniformly thin is the real secret to getting that satisfying chip texture — a mandoline makes it effortless, but a sharp knife and a little patience work just as well. These are the kind of snacks you make once and immediately plan to make again.
