Crunchy, warmly spiced, and just a little sweet, these baked plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Green plantains get sliced paper-thin, tossed in a simple coating of coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt, then baked until they turn deep golden and irresistibly crisp. Every single ingredient here is straightforwardly plant-based and whole, so there's nothing hidden to second-guess β no gelatin, no additives, just real food. The Ceylon cinnamon in particular gives a softer, more floral warmth than the standard supermarket variety, and it pairs beautifully with the natural starchiness of the plantain. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing as thin and uniform as possible and giving each chip its own space on the pan β patience pays off here. Once they cool on the rack, they firm up into proper chips that hold their own against anything from a bag. Keep a bowl nearby, because these go fast.

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.
