Dairy Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and finished with a generous shower of flaky sea salt, these plantain chips deliver serious snack satisfaction with just three ingredients. Coconut oil is the secret weapon here — it has a high smoke point and a subtle richness that makes each chip fry up beautifully without any dairy in sight. Green plantains are naturally starchy and sturdy, which means they hold their shape in the hot oil and develop that satisfying crunch you want in a chip. The mandoline technique is worth the extra step: uniform slices mean every round cooks at the same rate, so you get consistent color and texture across the whole batch. Store-bought chips often sneak in butter-based seasonings or are fried in shared equipment with dairy-containing products, so making your own puts you fully in control. These are incredible on their own, but they also hold up beautifully alongside guacamole, salsa, or any dip you love. Once you taste them still warm off the rack with that hit of sea salt, the bag from the grocery store is going to feel like a serious downgrade.
