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

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.
