Additional recipe notes
Air Frying: Make sure to not overcrowd the basket with the plantains. It is best to cook in batches. Plantains: If you have yellow plantains, wait for them to ripen (skin turns black). Sweet ripe plantains taste the best!

Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
