Equipment
- Air fryer
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 2 green or slightly yellow plantains: You can substitute with ripe yellow plantains.
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Favorite spices optional: Garlic powder or paprika for added flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Plantains: Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends of the plantain and slicing through the thick skin. Use a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife to cut the plantains into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thickness); you can go for straight or diagonal slices.
- Season the Slices: In a large bowl, toss the plantain slices with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or avocado oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and your favorite spices (such as garlic powder or paprika).
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the plantain slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
