Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 plantain
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Peel and slice up the plantain into equal-sized pieces.
- Add slices to a mixing bowl.
- Top with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and paprika. Use a spoon to toss plantains in seasonings.
- Place plantain slices in air fryer basket, in a single layer. Cook at 390 degrees, for 10 minutes. Halfway through cooking time, remove basket and flip (or shake) plantain slices. This helps them to brown more evenly.
- Once cooking time is over, remove plantain slices from air fryer and serve.

Notes
- You can slice the plantain on a diagonal or in any shape
- Olive oil is totally optional here. It does help the plantains brown up a bit more during the cooking process
- This recipe shows one plantain, but you can cook as many as you would like--as long as they fit in a single layer in the air fryer. This is important for making crispy plantain slices.
