green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

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

Cut off the ends of the Saba bananas.

Make a slit in the bananas to help with peeling.

Cut the bananas into disks.

Wash hands with olive oil to remove latex from the bananas.

Heat oil until hot.

Fry the banana disks in hot oil for about 45 seconds on each side until they start to brown.

Remove the fried disks and let them cool slightly.

Use the bottom of a mug to press down on each disk to flatten them into patties.

Return the flattened patties to the hot oil to cook until browned on both sides, flipping them once.

Let the patties drain and sprinkle salt on them while they are still hot.

Add garlic powder to the patties before serving.
