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

๐Ÿ™„ Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
๐ŸŒ„ What's Up With The Images? Well, originally, we didn't have any pictures of the food at all. Intentionally! Because I find those sites with so many pictures that it takes forever to get through the directions to be annoying AF! I mean, seriously, if you need a picture to show you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking!
Then I decided to add pictures of the finished product when I remembered to take them, which isn't very often. There are a very few recipes which actually show some cooking steps, but not in the middle of the directions.
Anyway, recently I have discovered that AI can make credible images of the finished recipe. Is that right? Is it moral? Are robots taking over the world? Don't know; don't care. But I promise that unless you are a robot, your recipes won't turn out anything like the pictures.
42% About Searches When you do a search, you will see a colored circle on the left side of the recipe name with a number that represents that recipe's match percentage. It is not a perfect science. Certain words and punctuation throw things off. And even the rankings might be a bit skewed. But overall, it works 42%% of the time.
๐Ÿ’ฏ 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!
