Boil water in a bot with a pinch of salt.
Peel and cut your green plantain into fry shapes (while the water boils). They don't have to be perfect but you want to make sure they are similar in size to allow even cooking. A little tip to peel green plantain quicker, soak them in hot water for 1-2 minutes, cut then ends then make a slit down the middle and peel it open.
Boil the plantain for 5 minutes. This is called parboiling. This allows for the inside to be tender and not tough and rough.
Take plantain out of water and add your olive oil, salt and garlic powder.
Air fry on 375°F for 12-14 minutes depending on your air fryer. If you want to use the oven instead, preheat your oven to 425°F before starting the cooking process and bake for 15-20 minutes or until desired crispness.
Split your fries into 2 servings and enjoy with your favorite protein and vegetables. 1/2 a serving of plantain is a mindful serving for anyone who might be more in tuned with their calorie intake, you are more than welcomed to enjoy all the fries though!
