Crunchy, sweet, and warmly spiced, these baked plantain chips hit that satisfying snack craving without a single questionable additive in sight. Store-bought chips and flavored snacks are notorious for hiding preservatives β including nitrates and nitrites used to extend shelf life β so making your own at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. Green plantains bring a naturally starchy base that crisps up beautifully in the oven, and a thin, uniform slice is the real secret to getting that satisfying crunch. Coconut oil helps each round turn golden at the edges, while a post-bake drizzle of honey and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon add a delicate sweetness that feels almost indulgent. Ceylon cinnamon in particular has a softer, more floral warmth than the common cassia variety, and it pairs perfectly with the subtle caramel notes of the honey as it sets on the warm chips. Let them rest on the rack for just a few minutes and you'll be rewarded with a snack that's genuinely crispy, naturally flavored, and completely clean.
