Ingredients
- 2 green plantains, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Cut off both ends of the plantains. Score the peel lengthwise and remove it. Slice the plantains as thin as possible using a mandoline or a very sharp knife—thin slices are the secret to crispiness.
- Add the slices to a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer—work in batches if needed. Air fry for 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Let the chips cool completely—this is when they fully crisp up. Serve on their own or with guacamole, salsa, or yogurt dip.
