Who Will Enjoy Unique and Sweet Plantains?

Anyone who loves trying something new! It’s hard not to like yellow plantains when you try them—they’re sweet, hearty and distinct. Once you know how to prepare them, they’ll likely become a new favorite in your household. They’re also a staple in restaurants and catering services that specialize in global cuisines or are just passionate about serving gourmet and unexpected foods to their customers.

How Should I Serve Yellow Plantains?

There are so many great ways to enjoy sweet plantains! Just keep in mind that they’re best served baked or fried, so you don’t want to eat them right out of their peel like you would a banana. Here are a couple of delicious ways to enjoy yellow plantains:

• Make Latin American-inspired tostones—slice a ripe plantain and pound each piece until it’s flat disk. Fry in the pan with oil of choice. Once browned, set to dry on a paper towel. Fry again once cooled. Season with salt and serve with garlic aioli or a flavored mayo of choice.
• Sweet and savory plantain pancakes—whip up your favorite pancake batter, add chopped ripe plantains, ginger, scallions and sweet onions and pan fry until golden.
• Classic-style—slice ripe plantains crosswise and pan-fry in a skillet until golden and aromatic. Remove, blot and place in a bowl of water with garlic and choice seasonings for one minute. Pat dry and fry again.
