These baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-and-warm-spice note that makes it nearly 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 β every single ingredient is a whole, recognizable food with nothing hidden inside. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid flavor enhancers and additives that sneak into so many packaged snack foods, even ones that look innocent on the shelf. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing uniformly thin and giving each chip its own space on the baking sheet so the oven can crisp rather than steam them. A flip halfway through and a few extra minutes of baking locks in those deep golden edges, and then the cooling rack does the final work β they firm up beautifully as they come to room temperature. The result is a snack that tastes indulgent but is built entirely from pantry staples you can trust. Whether you're packing them for a road trip or setting them out at a gathering, they disappear 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.
