Air Fryer Plantain Chips Recipe

Air Fryer Plantain Chips are a delicious, healthy alternative to store-bought potato chips, offering a satisfying crunch with a slightly sweet and savory flavor.  

Made from green or ripe plantains, these chips are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and packed with nutrients. Using an air fryer allows you to achieve a perfectly crispy texture with a fraction of the oil, making these chips a guilt-free snack that’s easy to prepare. 

– 2 green or ripe plantains (green for a savory chip, ripe for a sweeter chip) – 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil – 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) – Optional seasonings: chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, or sugar

Ingredients

Prepare the Plantains: – Start by peeling the plantains. To do this, cut off both ends of the plantain and make a shallow slit along the length of the peel. Use your fingers to remove the peel. – Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the plantains into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Thinner slices will result in crispier chips.

Instruction

Season the Plantains: – Place the plantain slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil or coconut oil. Toss to coat evenly. – Sprinkle the plantain slices with salt and any additional seasonings you prefer. Mix well to ensure each slice is evenly coated.

– Preheat the Air Fryer:Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes. – Air Fry the Plantain Chips:Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with a little oil.

Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping the slices to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. 

Cool and Serve: – Remove the plantain chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate. This will help them stay crispy.
