How to Make Patacones

Instructions

Step 1

Cut off the tips of the banana and cut it lengthwise, wet kitchen paper and wrap the banana with it, put it in the microwave for maximum power 8 minutes.

Step 2

This step is optional but the touch it gives to the final result is delicious: put a little water in a bowl and add the two crushed garlic cloves and a little salt, mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the air fryer to 200° for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once the banana has come out of the microwave, remove the paper and very carefully cut into small pieces and then remove the skin, which will come off easily.

Step 5

Once cut and peeled, crush each piece to shape the patacón and soak with the garlic water.

Step 6

Put it in the Airfryer basket, spray with a little oil and program it at 200° for 10 minutes, turn them over halfway through cooking and spray with another little oil.

Step 7

In the end, I realized that 8 minutes was enough.
