5 Plantain Recipes to enjoy for dinner time. They are epic in every way. Enjoy these plantain recipes plus other plantain recipes linked in the post.
When I go shopping, I buy as many plantains as I can because where there is plantain, there is something to cook. It doesn't matter the state in which the plantains are. The unripe ones could be transformed into a lovely one-pot dish or some crunchy plantain chips if I want to indulge a little. The ripe ones can be fried, boiled, roasted or even made into a pie or pancake. Plantains are so versatile, nutritious and tasty!
I'll be showing you 5 MUST-MAKE plantain recipes but first, let's talk a little about this tropical goodness.

| Unripe plantains |
Scientifically called Musa paradisiaca, plantains look like bananas and are of the banana family. Think of them as brothers to bananas. They are a staple in tropical regions. They are rich in potassium, vitamins, magnesium, and iron.
Plantains have been described as "the brain-boosting, immune-building fruit." These plantain recipes will make you lick your fingers while your body absorbs the goodness of plantains. Could anything be better?
If you thought you had seen the best of plantains, wait until you try this plantain boats recipe. If you think grilled plantains are good then plantain boats are G.O.O.D. Totally top-notch and unbelievably easy to make. Get the recipe HERE.
I posted this recipe just a few days ago and it is changing lives already. This one-pot plantain dish is for lazy kitchen days when you still want it to look like you put some effort into cooking. It could change your life too. Get the recipe HERE.
I love this dish not only because its taste is authentically African but also because it is of great cultural significance in Cameroon. Is there a new mother in your life? Make sure you make this for her and don't forget to put in enough oyeh. HERE is the recipe.
