Hazelnut Free Ranch-Style Plantain Chips
Crunchy, herby, and completely addictive, these baked plantain chips deliver everything you love about a classic ranch snack without a single nut in sight. Green plantains are the secret here — sliced paper-thin and baked in coconut oil, they turn golden and shatteringly crisp in a way that rivals anything from a bag. The homemade ranch seasoning is a blend of dried parsley, chives, dill, garlic, and onion powder, finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar that helps every bit of flavor cling to the hot chips straight out of the oven. Store-bought flavored chips can be a minefield when it comes to shared production lines and vague "natural flavors," so making your own from scratch puts you fully in control of what goes in the bowl. The technique is straightforward — a mandoline gets you those translucent, even slices that bake up uniformly crisp, and a quick toss while the chips are still hot locks in all that seasoning. Let them cool completely on the pan and they firm up into the kind of snack that disappears fast, whether you're serving a crowd or just treating yourself.
