Fried Plantains
Fried Plantains
Plantains make a quick and easy side dish that is a great alternative to fries and other forms of potatoes. They only take a few minutes to pan fry and taste even better seasoned with a suya spice blend. A good rule to remember with plantains is that unripened ones are not sweet and sorta resembles a potato in texture. Ripe plantains are very sweet and taste closer to a fried banana.
