Air-Fryer Tostones

Crisp, golden, savory smashed green plantains made the lighter way in the air fryer: thick plantain rounds soaked in garlicky salted water, air-fried until tender, flattened, then crisped again and showered with garlic salt. They have the same twice-cooked crunch as the fried kind, with a fraction of the oil. Serve them with guacamole, pico de gallo or a garlic mojo dip.
