Air Fryer Plantains
🖨👁 Print & View
Discover the crispy, savory delight of homemade tostones without the mess of traditional frying! These Air Fryer Plantains transform green plantains into golden, garlicky discs with just a fraction of the oil. The double-cooking technique yields the perfect texture: crisp exterior with a tender middle. The zesty seasoning mix adds bold flavor to these Latin American classics. Pair with guacamole and pico de gallo for an impressive appetizer or satisfying side dish. - Claude

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
