Crunchy, sweet, and warmly spiced, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect snack-food spot without a single synthetic preservative in sight. BHA and BHT are common in packaged chips and snack foods, making the chip aisle a minefield for anyone avoiding those additives β but every ingredient here is straightforward and clean. Green plantains get sliced paper-thin, tossed in melted coconut oil and pure maple syrup, then dusted with Ceylon cinnamon, sea salt, and a whisper of ginger before going into the oven. The key is slicing uniformly and giving each chip its own space on the pan so the heat can work its magic and crisp everything up rather than steam it. Flipping halfway through is the move that takes them from good to genuinely golden and snappy. They firm up beautifully as they cool on a wire rack, so patience pays off here. Once you taste how satisfying a homemade chip can be, it's hard to go back to anything from a bag.

Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch thickness, or a sharp knife, slice the peeled plantains into rounds as uniformly thin as possible β aim for about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Thicker slices will be chewy rather than crisp.
