How to make Banann Peze (Haitian Fried Plantains)

green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: regular bananas

Zucchini can be a lower-calorie alternative, while regular bananas are more affordable.

Peel the green plantains, using water to help if they stick to the peel.

Cut the plantains into three pieces at an angle for medium size.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of water with salt and soak the plantain pieces for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep skillet until hot.

Fry the plantain pieces for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the fried plantains and press them down using a presser or a plate.

Return the pressed plantains to the hot oil and fry until they reach a golden finish, or darker if preferred.
