Plantains are a member of the banana family. They have a thicker skin and are usually larger than bananas. Unlike bananas plantains are starchy and must be cooked before eating. As a plantain ripens the starches are converted into natural sugars resulting in a sweeter flavor.

By quickly frying a fully ripe plantain in oil all the sugar rises to the surface where it caramelizes. This creates a delicious flavor that is simultaneously crunchy and sweet. After the first bite you will realize why this is one of the best ways to prepare plantains. Add a little salt and the flavor becomes even stronger.
