Sesame Free Maple Cinnamon Plantain Chips

Green plantains are one of those underrated pantry heroes, and when they're sliced paper-thin and baked with coconut oil, maple syrup, and warm spices, they transform into something genuinely addictive. The combination of Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger gives each chip a gentle, layered heat that plays beautifully against the natural starchiness of the plantain. Store-bought snack chips can be a minefield of hidden sesame oil or shared production lines, so making these at home means you know exactly what's going in the bowl. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing as uniformly thin as possible — a mandoline makes this easy — and giving every chip its own space on the baking sheet so it crisps rather than steams. They come out of the oven looking deep golden at the edges and firm up completely as they cool on a wire rack, which is honestly the hardest part: waiting. These are the kind of snack that disappears fast, so consider making a double batch right from the start.
