Air Fried Sweet Plantains (Maduros)
If you are looking for a Caribbean inspired side dish, these air fried sweet plantains (maduros) are at the top of my favorite's list.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 plantain ripe
- ½ tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Peel the plantains and dice them into ½ inch pieces.
- Coat them with the oil on all sides and place directly in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350°F for 8 minutes, flipping them half way thru or until they are golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite bowl, scrambled eggs or hearty soup.
Notes
Plantains are typically found in the grocery store by the bananas, coconut and tropical fruit.
If you buy a green plantain you can make tostones instead of maduros (sweet plantain) or allow it to ripen on your countertop for 4-5 days until the skin turns dark yellow.
The darker the skin on the plantain the sweeter it will be. The plantains should also be soft to the touch (like avocados).
