🥥 Ingredients

• 2–3 ripe plantains (yellow with black spots for best sweetness)
• 1–2 tbsp avocado oil (or oil of choice)

🔥 Directions

1. Prep the Plantains – Peel and slice into even rounds or diagonals for a beautiful golden finish.
2. Oil Them Up – Toss slices in avocado oil until lightly coated.
3. Air Fry – Place on foil or parchment. Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes, flipping at the 10-minute mark. Rotate the pan if needed for even cooking.
4. Golden Goodness – Remove once edges are caramelized and the slices turn a rich golden-brown.
5. Finish with Salt – While still warm, toss with coarse sea salt so every bite has that perfect sweet-salty balance.
6. Cool & Enjoy – Let them rest for 1 minute, then dig in!
