SWEET PLANTAINS
Steps:
- To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.
- Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium low heat (plantains have a high sugar content and will burn if the heat is too high.) Fry the plantains in a single layer, until golden on the bottom then turn over with a spatula. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
- Just before serving, melt remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 350˚ F. Toss the plantains with the vegetable oil and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Add to the air fryer basket in an even layer and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the plaintains to a large piece of parchment and cover with another piece of parchment; smash each plantain with the bottom of a glass. Increase the fryer temperature to 400˚ F. Return the plantains to the fryer in an even layer (it's OK if they overlap slightly) and continue cooking until crisp, about 4 more minutes per side. Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with salsa verde.

- Make the simple salsa by combining the tomato, garlic, olive oil, sun-dried tomato, and salt and pepper. You could do this in a food processor, a mortar and pestle, or just a bowl.
- Heat the oil in a small, shallow skillet until it reaches 300 degrees F. Split the plantains lengthwise, being careful not to cut too deep. Peel off the thick outer skin, and slice the plantain into 3/4 inch thick discs.
- Fry the plantain pieces in the oil for about about 3 minutes until they have a very light crust on them and are cooked through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Clean the bottom of a heavy can (we used a big 28 ounce of crushed tomatoes for this task). Take the plantains and flatten them into circles with the can. You know they are cooked when they are easily smashed.
