Gelatin Free 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 questionable ingredient in sight. Many packaged chips and snack foods sneak in gelatin-based coatings or additives, so making your own at home puts you fully in control of what goes into the bag. Green plantains sliced paper-thin and tossed in coconut oil bake up remarkably crunchy, and the honey-cinnamon finish adds a sticky, fragrant glaze that sets beautifully as the chips cool on the rack. Ceylon cinnamon in particular brings a lighter, more floral warmth than the standard grocery store variety, making every bite feel a little more special. The technique here is straightforward — uniform slices, a single layer on the pan, and a patient flip halfway through — and the payoff is a deeply satisfying crunch that holds up well once the honey sets. These are the kind of snacks you make once and immediately want to keep on rotation.
