Air Fryer Tostones made healthier! No deep frying, just a few spritzes of olive oil for a crispy, delicious appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 large green plantain (ends trimmed and peeled (6 oz after))
  • olive oil spray (I like Bertolli)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • 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.

  • 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.
