Fish Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and impossibly light, these plantain chips are the kind of snack that disappears from the bowl before anyone even realizes they've been eating. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin on a mandoline, then fried in coconut oil until they turn pale gold and shatteringly crisp — a technique that delivers serious crunch without any of the mystery ingredients you'd find in a store-bought bag. A shower of flaky sea salt while the chips are still hot is all the seasoning they need, and the result is clean, satisfying, and deeply addictive. The short ingredient list — just plantains, coconut oil, and salt — means there's nothing hidden to worry about, which makes this a genuinely stress-free snack for anyone navigating dietary restrictions around seafood or fish-derived additives. Frying in batches and letting the oil return to temperature between rounds is the key to getting every chip evenly golden rather than greasy or pale. They crisp up even further as they cool on the rack, so a little patience goes a long way. Serve them straight, or pair them with your favorite dip for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that tastes far more impressive than three ingredients have any right to produce.
