Notes
Expert Tips: 
  • Choose plantains that are ripe but not overly ripe or blackened. The ideal plantain for air frying should be yellow with black spots.
  •  Slice the plantains at an angle, ¼ to ½ - inch thick, for an even sear.
  •  Toss the plantain slices with oil to help them cook evenly and crisp up.
  •  Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure that they are not overlapping.
