Cinnamon Free Ranch-Style Plantain Chips
Crispy, savory, and completely addictive, these baked plantain chips deliver the tangy herb flavor of classic ranch without a single ingredient that could cause concern for those avoiding cinnamon. That might sound like a small thing until you realize how many snack seasonings and spice blends quietly sneak it in — these chips are built from scratch so you know exactly what's in every bite. Green plantains sliced paper-thin and tossed in coconut oil bake up with genuinely satisfying crunch, and the homemade ranch blend of parsley, chives, dill, garlic, and onion powder is bright and herby in all the right ways. The real trick is tossing the chips in the seasoning the moment they come out of the oven — the residual heat helps everything stick, and a drizzle of apple cider vinegar adds just enough tang to make the flavor pop. They crisp up even more as they cool, so patience pays off here. Whether you're snacking straight from the sheet pan or serving them alongside something dippable, these are the kind of homemade chips that make store-bought feel completely unnecessary.
