Janine and I have always been big fans of plantains. Our mom loves them even more. Plantains belong to the banana family and are palatable when cooked. Over the years my family and I have enjoyed them roasted, boiled, baked and fried. However these days we have them fried on most weekdays and baked on Sundays along with our lunch. They are also a must as part of every holiday meal.
When we bake or fry our plantains we do not add sugar but some recipes include it. We use coconut oil for baking and frying them.

I don't think I've ever had this, but I would sure love to try them all the ways they can be prepared. They look really good.
Have a terrific day. :)
I hope you get to try them some day Sandee! Take care and have yourself a good Tuesday.
Ooh, I love them, too! We used to buy them off street vendors who fry them whole with sugar and stick them onto barbecue sticks. We called them banana-cues. :)
Thanks for your comments Buckeroomama! The way the street vendors cook them certainly sounds delicious! Take care and have a good Tuesday.
Wow...it's like I can smell them! Yum!!

Platains are my absolute favorite! I buy them all the time but I know they are not nearly as good as what you have!
I see that you are also a fan of plantains Melissa!:) Take care.
Happy to link up again Ai! You are right, they look a lot like bananas and are from the banana family.
Oh yummy I love plantains too particularly fried ones. Thanks for visiting my blog and following me. I'm following you too. Thanks for sharing this very yummy post.
Wow it's my very first time to see such food. I could not imagine that it could be fried like that. I mean, the banana is not suppossed to be fried if you are here in the Philippines. However, we have different taste buds. hahaa
Thanks for your comments Albert. Here in Jamaica we boil bananas and have them as banana chips when green. Plantains which are from the banana family we only have cooked. Take care and have a good Wednesday.

Wow that looks yummy! Bananas are among my fave fruits. So probably anything from the banana family would taste as good.
Take care Judy! :-)

Hi Irene,
I hope you get to try plantains some day. I am sure you would enjoy them. Take care and have a good Wednesday.
Judy
I love plantains too! These photos made me hungry Judy! I love it boiled or fried or grilled or made as crispy chips. Simply delicious. We never have it here in the country where I'm based now - Taiwan. So sad, but I will have a lot when I go home. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your comments Katya Kate. You just reminded me of Plantain chips! I have had those as well as fried green plantains. Plantain tarts are also delicious. Take care and have a good day.
A true Caribbean Queen :)
Thanks Debbie! You certainly made me smile! Have a good day.
I don't use sugar either and I love plantains. I had to give myself a break from them, but I need to start again!
I hope you get to start enjoying some again JamericanSpice!
Judy!! Catching up on your posts is making my morning!! It has been a busy past few days and I'm happy to be visiting.
I love plantains!!!! Really, really love them!!
When I was younger, my ex boyfriend's Mom always made them. I can eat so many! Haha!
Yours look so so good!
They have a few restaurants around here that make them. They are good. But not nearly as good as the ones we had when in Jamaica!! :)
YUM!!
So much love to you, Judy!
