Ingredients
×6- 2green plantains — firm and unripe
- 1 tbspneutral oil — for brushing
- 1/2 tspfine sea salt
- 2 clovesgarlic — minced, for the mojo
- 2 tbspolive oil — for the mojo
- 1lime — juiced, for the mojo
Method
- 01
Score and peel the green plantains, then cut into thick rounds about an inch and a half. Brush them with a little oil and air fry at 375°F for 8 minutes — this first pass softens them through without browning.
- 02
Take the warm rounds out and smash each one flat to about a quarter-inch, using the bottom of a cup or a tostonera. They should be tender enough to flatten without crumbling.
- 03
Brush both sides of the smashed discs with oil and sprinkle with salt. Return them to the basket and air fry at 375°F for another 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- 04
Stir the garlic, olive oil, and lime juice into a quick mojo. Salt the hot tostones again and serve immediately with the mojo for dipping.
