🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

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

1

Peel the green plantains, removing both ends and the skin carefully with a knife.

2

Slice the plantains into thick rounds, ensuring they are of even thickness.

3

Heat a good amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.

4

Fry the plantain slices in the hot oil, ensuring they do not touch each other, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are slightly soft.

5

Remove the plantains from the oil and drain them on paper towels.

6

Flatten each fried slice using a flat surface or a primitive tool, ensuring they are well flattened.

7

Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again until crispy, about 2-3 minutes, flipping them to cook evenly.

8

Once crispy, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels again.
