Gelatin Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crunchy, salty, and deeply satisfying, these plantain chips deliver everything you want from a snack without a single unnecessary ingredient. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin and fried in coconut oil until they turn pale golden and irresistibly crisp — the kind of texture that makes it genuinely hard to stop at a handful. Flaky sea salt goes on while the chips are still hot, so it clings perfectly and every bite has that little burst of savory flavor. Many packaged chip options sneak in additives or coatings that can be a concern for anyone avoiding animal-derived thickeners, but this recipe is refreshingly straightforward — just plantain, coconut oil, and salt, full stop. The double-check between batches to bring the oil back to temperature is a small step that makes a big difference, keeping each round evenly cooked rather than greasy. They crisp up even more as they cool on the rack, so a few minutes of patience pays off with an incredible final crunch. Serve them as a snack, a side, or just eat them straight off the rack — no judgment here.
