Ingredients

  • 2 green plantains
  • Oil for brushing
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • Fresh cilantro and parsley, chopped
  • Chives, chopped
  • 1 mango, diced
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • For the dressing: plain yogurt
  • Chipotle, to taste
  • Mustard
  • Balsamic and olive oil
  • Paprika, salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the plantains and cut them into thick rounds. Toss with a little oil and air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 8 minutes.
  2. Remove, smash each piece flat, brush with oil and return to the air fryer for 7 more minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Whisk the yogurt with chipotle, mustard, a splash of balsamic, olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper.
  4. Toss the warm plantains with the onion, bell pepper, mango, herbs and citrus juice, then drizzle generously with the dressing and serve right away.
Tip: Serve while the plantains are still warm and crisp — that contrast with the cold mango and dressing is the magic.
