This recipe for maduros (fried sweet plantains) is lighter and healthier than the deep-fried version and just as delicious! Perfect as an accompaniment to any meal, or by themselves as a tasty snack.

Equipment

1 airfryer
1 paring knife

Ingredients

3-4 ripe plantains yellow to black in color
2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 350℉ (or 120℃(
Slice plantains lengthwise with a sharp knife. Start by working the tip of the knife through the skin near the stem, then cut to the bottom of the plantain.
Remove fruit from skin, and discard skins.
Slice plantains on the diagonal, about ¾ to 1-inch thick.
Place sliced plantains in a bowl with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. (If desired, you can add salt or sugar, but I don't think this is needed!) Toss to coat.
Arrange plantains in a single layer on air fryer rack(s), and cook for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they cook, to make sure you don't overcook them and burn the outside.
