Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 green plantains
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
  • 5 tsp coconut oil (or avocado oil)
  • Optional: Lime juice

Instruction

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes, and combine water and salt in a large bowl. 
  • Cut the ends off the plantains and make a vertical slit through the skin, so you can easily remove the peel. 
  • Cut the plantains into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Toss the plantain slices with 2 tsp coconut oil. 
  • Cook in the air fryer in a single layer for 5 minutes.
  • Immediately remove the plantains and smash each slice with the bottom of a jar or a mug while they are hot. 
  • Dip the flattened slices in salt water quickly and set aside.
  • Brush each flattened slice generously the rest of the coconut oil (3 tsp) front and back.
  • Place back in the air fryer for 5-8 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  • Sprinkle with lime juice, if using, and sea salt. 
  • Serve immediately alone or with your favorite dip like guacamole.
