- 3-4 ripe yellow plantains
Preheat your grill pan, or air-fryer to about 400°F.
Cut off both ends of the plantains and discard. Make a lengthwise slit through the peel of each one.
Pull back the peel and use your fingers to remove the flesh inside. Discard peels.
Oil the grill grates or grill pan, air-fryer lightly. Place plantain slices flat on the hot surface. Grill for 4-5 minutes until deep grill marks form.
Flip and grill the other side for 3-4 minutes more until caramelized and slightly softened inside.
Pair with salty, savory foods like seasoned chicken, fish, or steak.
