How To Make Air Fryer Tostones | Air Fryer Recipes | Chef Zee Cooks

Making the perfect tostones in the air fryer isn't as easy as you think. First, you have to peel the green plantains by hand and then you have to dice them into one inch slices. Afterwards, you drizzle them with oil and set them in the air fryer where they become perfectly golden crispy tostones. My air fryer recipe is truly a must try! Make sure to join the Chef Zee Family!

What should I make next in the air fryer? Let me know!!!! I'd love to try out new recipes and film them!!! Woot woot

[@LSK1]

Chicaron or pastelito in air fries ?

[@mikapooh3329]

Chef Zee - Please use your other Air Fryer to Sous Vide some chicken breast, lamb or beef! I saw you make Sous Vide steaks on the Ninja channel but it would be nice to see you use that function on your own channel 💜😍

[@mcasanova-cartagena7938]

Pastelon de arroz, lasagna and bistec

[@Caliraphy]

Dominican Fried chicken, costillas , chuleta. air fryer meals (I know everything can’t fit in one basket. But cooking a full meal in batches would be amazing)

[@kouklakee]

Please make sorullios with cheese

[@alexandriabeauvoir]

I’m Haitian and this dish is called bannan peze “pressed plaintain”. I’ve been looking for a good air fried video. Definitely gonna try out.

[@SerPapus]

Yes we Dominicans call it tostones who cares what you call it

[@alexandriabeauvoir]

@@SerPapus it’s called sharing my culture. If you want to be rude. Go somewhere else.

[@celeste821]

Saying it's called, instead of we call it sounds rude.

[@ivan.-p]

Thanks for the tips. The only thing I’ll do differed is that the second time you oil them, after flattened, is better to do it with a brush individually to avoid them for breaking apart.

[@emmat3531]

Thanks, I used your tip. The brush allows for even oil distribution.

[@jonathannieves9012]

OMG I’m so glad I can make these without frying!!!!

[@dwtbb00]

Air fried empanadas would be great to see.

[@Chefzeecooks]

Agreed! I'll definitely test it out!

[@eduardoreal1056]

Same here. Afraid I might burn them in the air fryer.

[@geraldsonofgod]

That sort of already exists. Argentinian empanadas are baked, and taste absolutely delicious.

[@luciaescobarz]

I did this past week with colombian empanadas. 14 minutes in 200C

[@ceez8731]

@@geraldsonofgodstill not air fried ... touchė though

[@Smrp1893]

To be honest I did it without expecting the outcome would be so great!!! I followed like she explained it and it turned out amazing!! ❤ just a tip: the last time you put oil try to add a little bit of garlic powder and some black pepper and salt! And thank me later heheh bye!! 😂😂

[@JDVaron]

Just finished trying it the way you said lol 👌🏼

[@amyhansen9932]

Thank you for this recipe. Once they're done I would personally would sprinckle garlic salt.

[@PRH0NEY]

Love how you explain things! Would love to see more air fryer recipes for sure ♥️

[@MillsRepDom]

Wow I've never thought about using the air fryer for tostones!🤯 Thanks for the walk through!

[@judithvilla4007]

I have watched a lot of random air fryer recipe videos and this is the only one that is NOT IRRITATING, thorough, and actually pleasant to watch. I am making these tomorrow b/c Zee makes them look good, easy, and realistic. Finally! An excellent air fryer tutorial. Could we please have a vegan empanada recipe? Thank you.

[@emmat3531]

Update: I've tried this method twice. My tostones turned out great. I place a bit of salt on them before the second air fry. Thank you, Chef Zee. Your video and tips are easy to follow. I'm experimenting with making tostones. Frying them requires too much oil and guesswork. I look forward to trying your method.

[@katiab8865]

Great recipe for air fryer tostones. I didn’t think it was possible to do. I’m glad you show us how it can be done. Adding oil still less oil than if you were to fry them. Loved it! I definitely have to try it.Thank you so much!

[@ROCNYC]

Just finished doing this omg the breakdown was on point amazing you make life so much easier to follow everything you make my Totones came out perfect wowww thank you

[@constancemenefee4300]

¡Mis tostones salieron perfectos! Very good recipe. Only thing I did I add 🧂&🧄 powder to the water.

[@gonzalosuarez5842]

I LOVE videos like this one: simple, great audio, great video shots and the info is just great and to the point ..... thanks and congrats!!!

You're the best. Thank you so much! Your support means everything.

[@JoeGonzalez101]

Thank you Chef. Mine turned out almost perfect. I think next time I’ll do 10 minutes and 10 again. I give you a 10.9. I truly enjoy your recipes

[@devwife]

Made these last night and they were perfect. Thank you SO much.

[@MIA-lu6pp]

Thank you !!! My tostones came out great. I had to modified the time on my Ninja Air Fryer after my first tostones were not fully cooked. The second time, I gave them 20 minutes, and then another 20 minutes after I smashed them with the bottom of a small plate, and they were perfect and delicious with the sauce of garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper I usually make for tostones. Thanks again!

[@jessicadiaz3827]

Chef Zee!!!! these came out great when I tried!! Thank you soooooo so so simple instructions!!!! :)

[@SenorRioSalsa]

Gracias Chef Zee!!! Great recipe if you are cutting back on traditionally fried Latin dishes, or other dishes

You're welcome!! SO happy that you liked. Thanks for watching!

[@danielwoods4145]

Thank you so much for this simple preparation. It's a bit healthier which I like too rather than just dropping them in hot oil. I will have this with pernil tonight.

[@caceve11]

👍 Thanks for this video, tostones came out great & with garlic mojito !!!

[@explorer8888]

For a change, this was an excellent KZbin recommendation and a great video! I always make them the traditional way (fried), but I will try this recipe. Subscribed!

[@XxXDeathxByxIvyXxX]

Omg I've been waiting for you to do airfryer things!!! Yay

[@milenisl6439]

Great job! Can’t wait to try it.

[@ashleythiebaud9756]

I just tried these and this recipe is on point!!! I have tried so many other ways and they never come out right. With this method from the first “fry” in the basket I could tell it was going to be good because it was not rubbery when I went to smash them. I love tostones but since I started counting macros I stopped having them. With this right here I was able to measure exactly what I was eating. I had one whole plátano (130g) and I used 10g of avocado oil. Enough to coat them both times. I sprinkled adobo before the second “fry”. Perfection! Thank you so much!!!!

[@michaelayala9461]

Thank you so mucho!!! Perfect tostones

Muchísimas gracias por esta receta🔥💗

[@Xc0rpion26]

I’ll try this out!

[@leticiasf1822]

Thank you so much! I made it and it came out really good. My air fryer is ninja but not the one you got so I had to put the ten 325 and both times I put it for 10min each time. Maybe because I use sweet plantains. But overall it came out so yummy! I’m happy that I didn’t have to use so much oil to fry it.

[@lazarocedeno5270]

definitely look good as heck! I needa get a air fryer asap

[@Chefzeecooks]

You should! You'll love it. I'm obsessed.

[@terrydrawbaugh9711]

Thanks for sharing... I will definitely be trying this way instead of the deep frying method. This should save lots of time and the huge mess associated with oil when deep frying.

@@Chefzeecooks I'll try it soon. Today, I found frozen tostones de pana for the first time in the grocery store (TX) and I'll do as you did after air frying the tostones for the second time. Probably it will need more time because these are frozen. Thanks again!
