How to make air fryer plantain chips
Slice your plantains as thinly as possible! You can use a mandolin if you have one or use a knife.
Season your plantains in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, cinnamon and sugar. You can also add a dash of salt to bring out the sweetness!
Toss with your hands making sure to separate all of the slices so they are all well coated.
Air Fry you plantain chips in a single layer for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. My air fryer doubles as a dehydrator and comes with built in racks. You may use these racks and fry your plantains in layers if you have this option!
Some tips from Steph
Plantain ripeness. Make sure your plantains are ripe enough to be peeled. Mine was yellow with brown spots all over it.
Switch up the spices! You can use anything you’d like! Try making them curried with some curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder and salt or make a chili lime flavor with some chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and lime juice! The possibilities are endless!
Watch the chips carefully in the last few minutes so they do not burn. I take out the thinner chips a little earlier as they cook faster.
Eat them right away. Your plantain chips taste best right out of the air fryer or eaten shortly after. I left mine overnight and they became soft and chewy.
Use an oven for your plantain chips. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350f flipping halfway through.
