Chicken Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and impossibly satisfying, these plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears the moment you set them on the table. Green plantains are the star here — their firm, starchy flesh fries up into shatteringly thin rounds with a neutral, slightly savory flavor that's nothing like a ripe banana. Coconut oil brings a subtle richness to the fry without any heaviness, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt at the end is genuinely all you need. The mandoline trick is the real secret weapon: uniform slices mean every chip cooks evenly, so you get consistent crunch from edge to edge rather than a mix of burnt and underdone. Frying in small batches and letting the oil return to temperature between rounds keeps things light and crisp rather than greasy. These are completely plant-based with just three ingredients, so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your snack bowl. Whether you're serving them alongside a dip or eating them straight off the rack, they're the kind of homemade chip that makes the store-bought version feel like a downgrade.
