Caffeine Free Maple Cinnamon Plantain Chips

These baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-and-warm-spice note that makes it almost impossible to stop at just one handful. Green plantains get sliced paper-thin, tossed in melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, a whisper of ginger, and sea salt, then baked until they turn deep golden and satisfyingly crisp. The trick is getting those slices as uniform as possible — a mandoline makes quick work of it — and giving each chip its own space on the pan so the oven can do its thing without any steaming. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine, so there's no label-scanning or ingredient second-guessing involved. They come out of the oven smelling like a cozy autumn kitchen and crisp up even further as they cool on the rack, which is genuinely the hardest part of the whole recipe. Serve them as a snack, a lunchbox treat, or alongside something savory for a sweet contrast that works surprisingly well.
