Crunchy, golden, and warmly spiced, these baked plantain chips hit that satisfying snack craving without a single ingredient that could cause concern for anyone avoiding yeast. Green plantains are the star here β their firm, starchy flesh holds up beautifully to thin slicing and oven heat, crisping into something that genuinely rivals anything you'd find in a bag at the store. Coconut oil, turmeric, and ginger coat every round in earthy, subtly warming flavor, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end adds a bright little pop that ties it all together. Because the whole process happens in your own oven with a short, clean ingredient list, you're not left guessing about hidden additives or fermentation-based flavor enhancers that sneak into so many packaged snacks. The key to getting that perfect crunch is slicing as thin and uniform as possible β a mandoline makes this effortless β and giving the chips space on the pan so they bake rather than steam. They crisp up even more as they cool, so try to resist eating them straight off the rack. Keep a batch in an airtight container and you've got a reliable, feel-good snack ready for the next few days.

Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Score the skin of each plantain lengthwise with a knife, then peel. Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch (about 1.5 mm) or a very sharp knife, slice the plantains crosswise into rounds as thin and uniform as possible β uneven slices will brown at different rates.
