green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Zucchini is lower in calories and potatoes are more budget-friendly.

Select green plantains, ensuring they are not too ripe.

Peel the plantains and slice them on both sides, discarding the skin.

Slice the plantains diagonally into about 1-inch thick pieces.

Heat about 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Place the plantain slices in the pan with the cold oil and allow them to heat up slowly.

Fry the plantains until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side until golden brown.

Remove the fried plantains from the pan and flatten them using a coffee cup or plate.

Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again until crispy, flipping to ensure both sides are crispy.

Remove from oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve.
