These baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-and-warm-spice note that makes it nearly impossible to stop at just one handful. Thinly sliced green plantains get tossed in a glaze of coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, and a whisper of ground ginger before going into the oven β the result is deeply golden, subtly sweet, and satisfyingly crisp. The trick is slicing the plantains as uniformly thin as possible and giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet, which lets the oven do the crisping work instead of steaming everything into a soggy mess. Bagged snacks at the store are a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, with shared-facility warnings showing up on everything from trail mix to flavored chips β making your own batch sidesteps all of that entirely. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of cashews or any nut-based additions, so you can snack with zero second-guessing. Let them cool fully on a wire rack and they'll shatter just like a proper chip should, with that warm cinnamon-maple aroma still hanging in the air.

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.
