For extra crispy chips, soak the plantain strips in ice water for 30 minutes before air frying, then pat them completely dry. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your plantain strips and the power of your air fryer. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Experiment with different seasonings! Try smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder for a unique flavor twist.
