Sweet, warmly spiced, and satisfyingly crunchy, these baked plantain chips hit that perfect snack-food spot without a single seed in sight. Green plantains get sliced paper-thin, then tossed in a glaze of coconut oil, pure maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt before going into a hot oven β it's a short ingredient list that punches well above its weight. The real trick is slicing uniformly thin and giving every chip its own space on the pan, which lets the oven do the crisping work instead of steaming everything into a soggy mess. A quick flip halfway through and a few extra minutes of baking locks in those deep golden edges that make these so addictive. Many packaged chip options sneak in sunflower, sesame, or other seed-derived oils, so making your own batch at home means you know exactly what went into the bowl. Let them cool completely on a wire rack and you'll be rewarded with a chip that genuinely snaps β sweet up front, with a gentle warmth from the ginger and cinnamon that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another.

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.
