These baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-and-warm note β green plantains sliced paper-thin, tossed in melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, and a whisper of ground ginger, then baked until deep golden and irresistibly crisp. The combination of maple and cinnamon gives them a cozy, almost dessert-like quality, while the sea salt keeps things balanced so you genuinely cannot stop at one. Because every ingredient here is a whole, straightforward pantry staple, there's zero guesswork about hidden fillers or fungal-derived additives that can sneak into processed snack foods. The mandoline technique is the real secret β uniform slices mean every chip bakes evenly, and that final rest on a wire rack is what takes them from firm to genuinely shatteringly crisp. They work beautifully as an afternoon snack, a lunchbox treat, or even alongside something savory where you want a little sweetness in the mix. Make a double batch, because 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.
