- 5 tsp coconut oil or avocado oil
- Optional: Lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes, and combine water and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut the ends off the plantains and make a vertical slit through the skin, so you can easily remove the peel.

- Cook in the air fryer in a single layer for 5 minutes.
- Immediately remove the plantains and smash each slice with the bottom of a jar or a mug while they are hot.
- Dip the flattened slices in salt water quickly and set aside.
- Brush each flattened slice generously the rest of the coconut oil (3 tsp) front and back.
- Place back in the air fryer for 5-8 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle with lime juice, if using, and sea salt.
- Serve immediately alone or with your favorite dip like guacamole.
