Nutmeg 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 trace of nutmeg anywhere in the mix. Plenty of spiced snack blends and store-bought chips sneak in warming spices that can be hard to track down on a label, so making your own batch at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin and baked in coconut oil until they turn genuinely crisp — not just crunchy for a minute and then chewy — thanks to a careful flip halfway through and a rest on a wire rack as they cool. The finishing touch is a light drizzle of honey and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon, which brings a delicate, almost floral warmth that's completely distinct from the sharper spice blends you're avoiding. Ceylon cinnamon in particular is worth seeking out here; it's noticeably softer and more complex than the standard cassia variety, and it makes these chips feel a little special. They're the kind of snack that disappears fast, so consider making a double batch while the oven is already hot.
