Crispy, golden, and kissed with warm spice, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-salty snack spot without any of the nut-based ingredients you often find lurking in flavored chip blends. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin and tossed in melted coconut oil before going into the oven, where they slowly transform into shatteringly crisp rounds with caramelized edges. The real magic happens right after baking β a drizzle of honey and a dusting of fragrant Ceylon cinnamon coat each warm chip, setting into a lightly sticky glaze as they cool on the rack. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; it's noticeably softer and more floral than the standard cassia variety, and it makes the whole batch taste a little more special. Store-bought flavored chips can be a minefield of shared facilities and unexpected add-ins, so making your own means you control every single ingredient from start to finish. These are genuinely addictive straight off the rack, but they also hold up well as a crunchy topping for yogurt or a scoop of ice cream.
