Step 1

Wash and dry plantains, cut off the two ends of the plantains. Make a skin deep slit on one side of the plantains, running from one end of the plantain to the other end.

Step 2

Peel the skin out, then cut into desired shape. I like to cut plantains diagonally.

Step 3

Transfer cut plantains into a bowl, add oil, salt, and pepper (if using) toss to combine. Arrange plantains in the air fryer basket or rack and air fry at 350°F / 180°F 15 mins flipping half way through cooking time. If at 15 mins it’s not browned to your liking, air fry for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Serve with your favorite side dish or sauce.
