Crispy Air Fryer Plantain Chips

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Plantain Chips.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a ripe plantain and trim off both ends.

3. Step 3

   To make peeling easier, score the skin lightly along one side.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently peel off the skin and cut the plantain in half.

5. Step 5

   From there, slice it into thin strips using a vegetable peeler for that perfect shape.

6. Step 6

   Next, give your air fryer basket a light spritz of avocado oil to prevent sticking.

7. Step 7

   Carefully arrange the plantain strips in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap—this helps them cook evenly.

8. Step 8

   A quick spray of avocado oil on top will add that extra crispiness.

9. Step 9

   Pop the basket into the preheated air fryer and let those plantain strips cook for about 7 to 9 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Halfway through, use tongs to flip each strip over, then continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.

    Once they’re done, take them out and sprinkle a little salt on top while they’re still warm.
