Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Plantain
  • 1 tsp Sazon
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 tsp Lime Juice
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Medium-Sized Bowl
  • 1 Grater
  • 1 Pairing Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Step One
    Tip! To make peeling the plantain easier, run hot water on it or place it in a medium-sized bowl with hot water. The hot water helps release the peel from the plantain, which makes it easier to peel.
    Cut the ends, peel or remove the peel, and cut the plantain in half.
    Step Two
    Use a grater to grate the plantain lengthwise. Apply light pressure when grating to get thin strips for a crispier plantain hash.
  2. Step three
    Add the shredded plantain, sazon, lime juice (optional), and avocado oil in a medium-sized bowl, and mix well until the grated platano is well coated.
  3. Step Four
    Place small bundles smaller than the palm of your hand in the air fryer basket—the smaller and fluffier the bundles, the crispier the plantain.
  4. Step 5
    Air Fry at 360 degrees for 7 minutes. Note: Every air fryer, just like ovens, can operate slightly differently. Check them after 5 minutes to make sure they're not burning.
    Serve the arañitas de platanos with your favorite dipping sauce, dip or drizzle chimichurri or hot sauce on the crispy plantains, and enjoy!
