Air Fryer Sweet Plantains Recipe

Servings: 2
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- Cooking spray or cooking oil, such as canola oil, avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil
- 1 ripe plantain
- salt and granulated sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray or cooking oil of choice. 2. Using a sharp knife or paring knife, cut the ends of the ripe plantains off, then make a slit lengthwise up the plantain and carefully remove the skin of the plantain and discard. 3. Slice the plantains on a slight angle, into about ½" slices. Place the plantains into the greased air fryer basket in an even layer and spray tops with additional oil or cooking spray to coat. If desired, sprinkle tops with a bit of granulated sugar and salt. 4. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, flip over, and air fry for an additional 8 minutes, until plantains are golden brown. (see recipe card below for full recipe and ingredients list).Notes: About 1 large plantain fits comfortably sliced in a standard air fryer basket at a time. *Cooking time may vary a bit depending on the size of your plantain slices.
