Ginger Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and impossibly snackable, these plantain chips deliver that satisfying crunch you'd expect from a bag off the shelf — except these are made with just three clean ingredients you can actually pronounce. Green plantains are sliced paper-thin and fried in coconut oil until they turn beautifully pale gold, then finished with a generous hit of flaky sea salt while they're still hot from the oil. The coconut oil gives them a subtle richness without any competing flavors, letting the natural starchiness of the plantain shine through. For anyone navigating a ginger-free lifestyle, store-bought chip options can be a minefield of spice blends and "natural flavors" that hide unwanted ingredients — this recipe keeps everything completely transparent. The mandoline technique is the real secret here: uniform slices mean every chip fries evenly, so you're not pulling out a mix of burnt edges and undercooked centers. A short rest on a wire rack is all they need to go from golden to genuinely shatteringly crisp. These disappear fast, so consider making a double batch.
