Peanut Free Sea Salt Plantain Chips

Crispy, golden, and kissed with flaky sea salt, these homemade plantain chips deliver a satisfying crunch that puts any store-bought bag to shame. Green plantains are the star here — their firm, starchy flesh slices beautifully thin and fries up into light, shatteringly crisp rounds that are impossible to stop eating. Coconut oil brings a subtle richness to the fry without overpowering the natural flavor of the plantain, and the whole ingredient list clocks in at just three items. For anyone navigating nut allergies, bagged snack chips can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings and ambiguous labeling — making a batch from scratch means you know exactly what went into the bowl. The mandoline technique is the real secret weapon here, since uniform slices mean every chip fries evenly and nothing burns while the rest is still pale. A sprinkle of sea salt straight out of the hot oil is all the seasoning these need, though they cool into something even crispier than they look fresh from the pot. Whether you're serving them alongside a dip or snacking straight off the rack, these chips are the kind of simple, crowd-pleasing recipe you'll come back to again and again.
