They forgot one of the most important tip! A plantain's flavor greatly varies based on how ripe it is. Use fresh, green plantains for a starchy, potato-like flavor. If you want a sweet, banana-like flavor for a desert dish, let it age until the skin turns black. It will look spoiled and inedible, but unlike bananas it will still be very much alive inside.
good video

Can it be done with normal bananas? :)

@KpopLunatic No. Bananas are a sweet fruit and plantains are essentially a starchy vegetable.

Great video Michael! I've just recently gotten into plantains, but only the ripe ones. I'll have to give these a try with the green. Thanks!

could you roast these in the oven as opposed to frying them for a healthier option?
asnow1861 4 months ago
@asnow1861 It is a huge starch so they are very naughty no matter what you do, I think if you put it in the oven they will be very dry and chalky.

He just poked the plantain with the fork and then ate it with his fingers. Completely unnecessary. 5:10
