green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Zucchini is lower in calories and potatoes are more budget-friendly.

Peel plantains and trim the ends. Cut a slit along the length deep enough to penetrate the skin without cutting the plantain. Cut them into thick rounds about 1 inch and place the cut pieces in a bowl of water to retain their color.

Pat the plantain pieces dry and drizzle them with olive oil, coating all sides.

Preheat Air Fryer to 350 degrees F and place the plantains in the Air Fryer for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 4 minutes.

Remove the fried plantains and flatten/smash each piece with the back of a glass or wooden press.

Mix a little olive oil, salt, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

Spritz the oil mixture onto the flattened plantains and place them in the Air Fryer once again. Fry at 400 degrees F for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

Serve double fried tostones/air fried plantains with any dip of your choice.
