Crunchy, golden, and kissed with warm spice, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-salty snack spot without any of the questionable additives lurking in store-bought versions. Parabens and synthetic preservatives have a way of sneaking into packaged snack foods, so making your own from scratch is one of the cleanest moves you can make. Green plantains bring a naturally starchy, neutral base that crisps up beautifully in the oven when sliced thin and coated in melted coconut oil. A drizzle of honey and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon β added while the chips are still warm β create a light, fragrant glaze that sets as they cool on the rack. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; it's noticeably more delicate and floral than the common cassia variety, and it makes the finished chips taste genuinely special. The whole process is straightforward, and the ingredient list is refreshingly short and recognizable from start to finish. Once you taste how satisfying a truly clean chip can be, the bagged stuff is going to have a hard time competing.
