Discover the crispy, savory delight of homemade tostones without the mess of traditional frying! These Air Fryer Plantains transform green plantains into golden, garlicky discs with just a fraction of the oil. The double-cooking technique yields the perfect texture: crisp exterior with a tender middle. The zesty seasoning mix adds bold flavor to these Latin American classics. Pair with guacamole and pico de gallo for an impressive appetizer or satisfying side dish. - Claude
