Emulsifier Free Maple Cinnamon Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and kissed with warm spice, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-salty snack spot without a single additive in sight. So many packaged chips and snack foods rely on emulsifiers to extend shelf life or improve texture — but every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is: green plantains, coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, sea salt, and a whisper of ginger. The coconut oil does the heavy lifting as a clean, single-ingredient fat that coats each slice beautifully and helps them bake up with genuinely satisfying crunch. Slicing the plantains thin and giving them room on the baking sheet is the real trick — no crowding, no steaming, just even caramelization and those deep golden edges that signal chip perfection. Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more floral warmth than the standard variety, and paired with maple syrup it makes these taste almost indulgent. Let them cool fully on a wire rack and you'll be rewarded with a crisp that rivals anything from a bag — no emulsifiers, no mystery additives, just real food that happens to be completely irresistible.
