Ingredients
- 1 plantain mostly black with some yellow skin, large ripe
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral-flavored oil
- salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Slice through just the peel lengthwise and peel the plantain, discarding the skin.
- Slice the plantain into your desired shape; I recommend diagonal slices 1/4-inch thick, or 3/4-inch thick coins, and toss with oil and a pinch of salt.
- Place plantain pieces in the mesh basket of your air fryer in one layer (do not stack them or they won't crisp up perfectly) and cook on 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Flip all the pieces and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the plantain is soft. Keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time if needed to prevent burning.
