Making tostones in the air fryer is incredibly simple! But what are tostones!?! These little crispy golden bites of heaven are a well known Latin American snack food. Tostones are actually underripe green plantains that are cut into slices, then fried until soft, mashed flat, and fried once more! They are super delicious but if cooked the traditional way quite greasy.
