Paraben Free Maple Cinnamon Plantain Chips

These baked plantain chips hit that perfect sweet-and-warm note — green plantains sliced paper-thin, tossed in coconut oil and pure maple syrup, then dusted with Ceylon cinnamon, sea salt, and a whisper of ginger before going into the oven. The result is a snack that tastes indulgent but is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients with no synthetic additives or preservatives hiding in the mix. For anyone navigating paraben-free living, store-bought chips and flavored snacks can be a minefield of undisclosed cosmetic-grade preservatives, so making your own from scratch is genuinely the cleanest route. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the plantains as uniformly thin as possible — a mandoline makes this effortless — and giving every chip enough room on the baking sheet to crisp rather than steam. Flipping them halfway through baking ensures even color and that deep golden edge that signals they're almost there. Let them cool completely on a wire rack and they'll firm up into proper chips, not the chewy, bendy kind. Sweet, spiced, and completely homemade, this is the kind of snack you'll want to keep on rotation.
