Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
2 ripe plantains (sweet plantains, yellow plantains)
¼ pound Prosciutto or Serrano ham very thinly-sliced [110 g]
¼ pound cheddar very thinly-sliced [110 g]
1 tablespoon minced parsley or cilantro, for decoration (optional)

Instructions

1. Preparing

Peel the plantains (see how to peel plantains). Pre-heat the air fryer or oven to 450ºF [230ºC]. Grease two mini-muffin baking trays with the vegetable oil.

2. Making rolls

With a sharp knife, cut the plantains into thin long strips. Cut the ham and cheese into strips roughly the same size as the plantain slices.
Place a plantain slice on top of a slice of ham, then top with a slice of cheese. Roll as tightly as possible.
Place in the cupcake mold, or hold with a toothpick if you're cooking them in the air fryer.

3. Baking

Cook in the air fryer or oven for 20 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown.
Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Since they are supposed to be served hot, you can place them unbaked in the fridge, then bake when it's time to serve them.
