Ingredients
1Plantain
1Tbspcoconut oil
1TspTurmeric
Salt to taste
For soaking the plantain ( green banana )
1TspTurmeric
2CupWater
Instructions
Peel the Plantain - Slice the ends and then peel the plantain with a peeler or knife. Save the skin for making a delicious thoran side dish. making 2- 3 slits down the length will help in peeling them apart easily.
Soak the peeled plantain - Mix the turmeric powder in a bowl of water and soak the peeled plantain for at least 30 minutes. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice Thin - Slice thinly the Plantain with a mandolin slicer ( my preferred choice ) or knife.
Toss with oil & seasoning - Toss the plantain chips slices with coconut oil & turmeric . Sprinkle with salt.
Air fry - Arrange all the slices from the plantain into the air fryer basket overlapping each other. Select the AIRFRY programme. Adjust the +/- keys to adjust the Time and Temperature to 150 C / 350 F and 10 - 12 minutes. Press Start. Flip and turn the plantain chips around every 5 minutes, so that they evenly dry out. This initial de hydrating time depends on how much your plantain chips have wet and shiny spots. All the chips need to evenly dry out. Now Increase the temperature to 180C / 350F and cook for 2-3 minutes, checking every 1 minute in between. If you seen some of the chips are ready, remove them and continue to cook.
Cool to Crisp - Allow the chips to cook a bit as they will crisp further.
Season and serve - Sprinkle a little more salt if you prefer and serve.
Notes
You can arrange the plantain slices in the air fryer basket overlapping each other. As the plantain slices are thinly sliced, they are frying all over inside the air fryer.However if you are not sure about getting it right, arrange them in a single layer.
