air fryer tostones

These easy tostones also known as patacones or fried green plantains are made healthier in the air fryer. No deep frying, just a few spritzes of olive oil for a crispy, delicious appetizer or side dish.

Tostones (Twice Air Fried Plantains)

green plantain (ends trimmed and peeled (6 oz after))

olive oil spray (I like Bertolli)

water

salt

garlic powder

With a sharp knife cut a slit along the length of the plantain skin, this will make it easier to peel. Cut the plantain into 1 inch pieces, 8 total.

In a small bowl combine the water with salt and garlic powder.

Preheat the air fryer to 400F.

When ready, spritz the plantain with olive oil and cook 6 minutes, you might have to do this in 2 batches.

Remove from the air fryer and while they are hot mash them with a tostonera or the bottom of a jar or measuring cup to flatten.

Dip them in the seasoned water and set aside.

Preheat the air fryer to 400F once again and cook, in batches 5 minutes on each side, spraying both sides of the plantains with olive oil.

When done, give them another spritz of oil and season with salt. Eat right away.

Tostones - also known as patacones or fried green plantains - are made healthier with this easy air fryer recipe. No deep frying, just a few spritzes of olive oil for a crispy, delicious appetizer or side dish.
