Rice Free Honey Cinnamon Plantain Chips

Crunchy, sweet, and warmly spiced, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect snack-food spot without a grain of rice or rice-derived ingredient in sight. Green plantains are the star here — sliced paper-thin and tossed in melted coconut oil before they go into the oven, where they slowly transform into golden, crispy rounds. The real magic happens after baking, when a drizzle of honey and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon coat each warm chip and set into a lightly caramelized finish that makes it nearly impossible to stop at just one. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out specifically — it's noticeably more delicate and floral than the standard cassia variety, and it lets the natural sweetness of the plantain come through rather than overpowering it. Because everything here is made from scratch with whole, straightforward ingredients, you never have to second-guess a label or worry about hidden fillers that can sneak into store-bought chip alternatives. These are equally at home in a snack bowl, packed into a lunchbox, or served alongside something savory as a sweet-salty contrast. Once you nail the thin, even slicing — a mandoline makes it effortless — the rest practically takes care of itself.
