Back to TopFantastic flavor! This was a bit messy to make but definitely worth the effort. I used plantains that were very ripe with large spots of blackened skin. They were a bit soft but so sweet that I would wait until they are just as ripe again next time I make this. And I will make this again! As the other reviewer stated, they fried a bit quicker then the recipe called for so watch them closely.

These are awesome! I love the salty, crunchy exterior with the starchy/sweet interior. Do watch the frying times carefully--on my stove with cast iron it took about half the recommended time to reach the correct level of doneness.
