Notes

Green plantains work best but if it has some yellow that’s ok. ⠀Feel free to leave the seasoning out and 1 tsp oil to make it plain. // You can also add herbs halfway through cooking. // Plantains shrink a bit while cooking. Keep that in mind when prepping your plantain.This recipe can be doubled and tripled.If cooking stovetop, do not leave unattended. Not even for a minute or you may miss your plantains and they burn.You can enjoy as a snack or side dish.
