Fried Plantains Recipe ...Sweet Platanos Maduros

[@marie007]

I was born and raised in Mexico City, grew up eating fried plantains and love them. I love the taste when they're fried but I was searching the web for healthier and easier options. Then I saw your video, so I say forget it, I'm frying my plantains again, YOLO! lol, I do like them mostly as dessert, with sour cream, sugar, cinnamon and sometimes chopped pecans on top, and yes, a little burnt is even better.

[@candykushhh]

My husband is from El Salvador and he loves plátanos fritos ! Making some for a side for tonight’s dinner 😝😍. Anyhoo I like your style of videos! Awesome.

[@ninon911]

I grew up eating it every day. I love mi plátano maduro frito.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

one of the nice things about being back in Florida is that all of the grocery stores have piles of plantains...they're so easy to prepare, and it's an easy way to score points with my wife

[@stvvrrlightsun]

My mom is from El Salvador and I love platanos fritos! There the best and I didn't realize how easy they are to make! Im going to make this when my bananas are completely dark!

[@BradTheLadShow]

Gotta say I clicked this video because I wanted to see how you make them and I'm reminded why I subbed to you in the first place. So informative and light hearted, it's really something to behold.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

thanks...that's super kind of you to say

[@dianalopez-by2ql]

Felt like I learned a lot in this video. Like I've only had plantains three ways my whole life. They were either tostones or maduros, or blended up to make soup thicker. For some reason it never occured to me you could grill, bake, or cut up and boil it (but now I'm curious🤔).Thank you for the video!😂🙏

[@henileereis4939]

Love plantains with shrimp and grits never had them with cinnamon on them will have to try it thanks for sharing

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I love shrimp and grits--one of my favorite meals--haven't paired it with plantains, but will definitely do that--sounds perfect

[@micheleberg1504]

MMM gooood! I want the other recipe for the rice dish!

[@luckychicav7981]

Mmm I remember these as a treat when we were kids with a sprinkling of raw cane sugar and a little sour cream. Thank you for the walk down memory lane of my childhood, which has been a good while! ;)

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

foods are definitely touchstones to childhood...there are certain foods that bring back such vivid memories for me

[@EZGlutenFree]

They look amazing. I love fried plantains.

[@annie1467]

This is a typical breakfast item in Trinidad and Tobago

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I fry them mostly in the mornings, too...love pairing them with runny eggs

[@doriskurtzman1624]

Very common breakfast in my country. If you can get Spanish cream like Mexican cream, it's absolutely delicious. If you can't, sour cream works great. Growing up my mom would add a little sugar but I agree with you it doesn't need it. Try them next time with a dollop of sour cream. Amazing!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yeah...the creaminess is a great combo with fried plantains...CG likes to mix Greek yogurt with honey and cinnamon and top her plantains with a giant dollop

[@mneff69]

Tyvm Chef Buck!

[@KetofatgurlNoMore]

I've been making these for years. So yummy👍👍👍👍

[@dennissereyes9913]

That the good one the black one mmmmmmm

[@deborahmclaughlin9423]

I like to fry coin sized very ripe plantains in coconut oil along with par cooked cubed yams. Make brown rice on the side, add a scoop of salsa, sliced avocado and top with a spoon of chipolte BBQ sauce. Great Cuban bowl! Going to try your recipe. It looks delicious.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yum!--BBQ sauce never hurt anything :^)

[@arabiantxn]

Yummy, wish you folks well

[@Foodship]

Wow it's great.

[@Foodship]

Majik Tommy okay, what should I say!

[@majiktommy8750]

Foodship Not your fault I have a perverted mind

[@Foodship]

Majik Tommy Hmmm, it happens sometimes.

[@jazminbarbarayoung8150]

This is good

[@missdigioia]

Love green plantain with salt fried 😍

[@vijantiemaharaj6746]

Digioia lifesLovers mashed patetoes

[@missdigioia]

Vijantie Maharaj huh

[@BonusFry]

🤣😏

[@teresalandhamilton8476]

You seriously make the best looking food!!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

thanks!--I think the editing software helps :^)

[@wackywoodywaters]

Nice Video 🌱!

[@SailBeforeSunset]

You're making plantains look good!

[@floprogress9283]

Wooow that looks delicious 😋

[@SophiaPetrillosBuddy]

My mom likes to fry the green plantains in a flour coating and dip them in sugar. It's not too bad. Kind of sweet and sour.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

sounds good...I like the savoriness of the twice-fried tostones made with unripe plantains...but I feel guilty about the twice-fried part now that I'm firmly in my 50's

[@lactobacillusprime]

I've eaten those quite a bit, Surinam ' Baka Bana ' or Bakabana is quite a nice recipe as well.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I had to google "Bakabana"...I'm gonna try that...it's one of my favorite combos, I never thought of pairing plantains with a peanut sauce, although a peanut butter and banana sandwich is one of my favorites

[@antoniokinsey4041]

Black like that is great. Will need a little salt. The blacker, riper it is, makes it softer, sweeter, and yummier. Gooey sweetness. The green ones are fried, taken out and flattened, then refried again, salted and eaten crunchy. “You can eat them raw” ? I never heard of that.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I never eat them raw, but you can...and I love the twice-fried tostones; I've cut back a lot on salt in the past year, I miss it, but on the plus side, it doesn't take as much salt to be "salty" for me anymore...now my wife is always like "where's the salt?"

[@sae1019qtpie]

Mmmm. I love plantain on the side of a skirt steak w/ black beans.

[@middleclassfashion8590]

Definitely want to try this one

[@thecurtisfamily1]

My grandma dips them in sugar and wraps them in a wonton wrapper and fries them, sooo good!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

wow...sounds great...must be a nice crunch with the gooey plantain

[@yolandagooden2882]

Chef Buck....You rock! 🎸 🍽👙👨🏻‍🍳

[@erikadawnwyatt1104]

Looks good 😋💕

[@Caliraphy]

You can eat the green ones too. Make tostones. Carefully Slice the peel w a knife. Slice banana into roundish shapes , fry, watch carefully cuz they burn easy, half way through take them out, squash the round half way w a tostoneria or something flat & heavy, put it back in the oil to fry until golden brown & cooked. After you take them out sprinkle lightly w sea salt or adobo, any seasoning u like I guess.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

definitely a fan of tostones...I like them as a snack using just a little creamy ranch salad dressing as a dip

[@doriskurtzman1624]

If you feeling extra fancy. My mom would scramble eggs and make refined beans. The cooked plantains on a roll with a little cream. So so so good

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

sounds super duper!

[@estebanmartin172]

Also delicious fried in a little butter, some apple juice, and topped with cinnamon and a little granulated sugar.

[@beverlyfields8932]

Good to see you back home in FL where you belong😉

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

back for the summer!....talk about timing :^)...After 5 years in the Northwest, I'd forgotten what sweat was

[@beverlyfields8932]

I lived in Orlando for 10 years and remember getting in a hot car in July and August, that will make you sweat.

[@GacheriTheagronomist.]

I bought 5 @ $2 in Nairobi, Kenya.

[@z6886]

I bought a few. Om going to try this out

[@justthetruth201]

Just have some this morning. Yum. I payed $1 for 3. I like super ripe.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I used to shun the super ripe ones, but they're winning me over

[@_BlueMoon]

Can you take their seeds and sow them?

[@ErsahMajor]

Take your green plantains, boil them till they're (fork) tender..remove the skins, mash them then set aside. In a pan, heat 3tbs of olive oil and add finely chopped garlic.. toast the garlic in the oil and combine with the plantains like you would butter in mashed potatoes (salt to taste). We call it FUFU.. and we serve with fried eggs, pork belly or chops... whaaaaaaaat!?! What part of Florida are you guys in? It would be cool to meet you both! Chef Buck.. you ever try Ropa Vieja (Old Clothes)? Awesome with FuFu!! (Brisket recipe)

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

plantain mash...I saute a whole onion along with the garlic, 'cause I've always got a bag of onions on hand that I need to use up...and I love Ropa Vieja

[@ErsahMajor]

Shoot, I forgot all about finely chopped onions too! yessssss!

[@anush11011]

I live in Germany and they sell these in a local African/Asian store They don’t have any labels bc it’s setup like a mini market ANYWAYS how do I know if they’re the plantains to cook or to bake and fry like you do??? Or could I just buy a green one(that is supposed to be cooked) and then wait until they’re black and ripe so I can fry them for a sweetish dish??

[@twelveblunts]

My Salvadoran mom turns the with her hands 💀😂

[@jessica2569]

yummmy that looks good thx for teachig me how to cook plantain. 1 like for you :) :D

[@allthings8953]

Bread, slight butter, fried plantains and a slice of cheese 😋👍😉

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

fried plantains and cheese?...never heard of that!...are you an apple pie with a slice of cheese aficionado?

[@BradTheLadShow]

well for those who like the sweet and salty, Im down for it XD

[@d.l.sosnik2135]

no tostones ?

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

love tostones...I've got a pic on my blog post of some tostones I made with one of the plantains in the vid...tostones and a plantain mash are my two go-to dishes for unripe plantains...I need to use them more in soups, but Florida isn't a place where I cook as many soups as I did up north

[@nodenzinha]

No Brasil chamamos de "Banana-da-Terra".

[@ms.docileone]

plantains are not bananas, this is my only argument to your video - I've loved them for years!

[@gingerb9997]

Waiting for someone to rightfully say this....plantains are never bananas...bc u never eat plantains raw like bananas...

[@SuperEwyatt]

Deep fried bananas and vanilla ice cream !!

[@eastbrookhomebrewing2701]

I love frying these and serving them alongside steak burritos & chips/salsa.

[@MANNY100123]

I love fried plantains! I eat 'em with ketchup since they taste just like potato!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

treat 'em like a 'tator!

[@Men-R-all-the-same-]

Thanks i ain no how cut this because i just eat the fried green ones☺

[@nancyfahey7518]

Can't do all that sugar. They look delish. Maybe I'll try the green boiled ones.

[@ErsahMajor]

No need for the sugar.. with some plantains all you need is a hint of salt to get the salt/sweet you want or need without going overboard. Semi-ripe plantains are great for boiling too, but better fried (in my opinion). You can also take the green plantains, peel them, and cut them into super thin slices. Leave them in salted water for 30 mins. (drain) then carefully (deep) fry them till crisp.. plantain chips! Try those with eggs...yum!

[@silvialatoni2277]

I love sweet plantains. They’re good with white rice, red beans & a fried pork chops. Puerto Rican style baby!!

[@Jenny-ho9kw]

as a true hispanic im mad i wasted my time watching this video. from 6:21 on a dissapointment lmaoooo

[@kenisharivera1014]

Just bought 3 for 99 cents in queens,ny!

[@gabriellatovar6696]

Do they stick at all ?

[@gabriellatovar6696]

To the Ian sorry meant to say that

[@gabriellatovar6696]

Pan*

[@chrusb7765]

At the Thai supermarket my wife shops at they're 69 cents. She wraps them in a wet paper towel and microwaves them for 5 minutes. We're in Torrance, California

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yeah...we were able to buy plantains at the Asian markets in the Northwest US...now that we're back in Florida, plantains are everywhere

[@TheUtubewatcher2010]

Are you microwaving to ripe them?

[@lyzzymendoza4066]

En español = plátano macho (Michoacán)

[@claygirl6133]

3 for 2.00 in Florida? Wow

[@jenniferserna9964]

Add pico de gallo

[@123kartel]

His gf looks like the woman from the Walking Dead lol

[@jayhalley2642]

I walk past plantains in the supermarket - quickly

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I used to be the same way, but CG turned me around over the years...Sweet Fried Plantains is one of her favorite dishes, and while I'm more of a savory guy in general, I've come to really enjoy the sweet plantains with breakfast...I tend to buy more of the unripe plantains and use them like a potato, but if bring green plantains home, I better have some ripe ones, too, or CG will give me "the look"

[@jayhalley2642]

Chef Buck no no no . By all means avoid “the look”

[@paulfranco3239]

💛

[@bigdaddylee8019]

😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

[@norawoods1334]

I heard you should not eat plantains raw

[@majiktommy8750]

Just curious, is camera girl also a chef?

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

she does a lot of cooking--and is very good at it--but she's never cooked as an occupation...she doesn't have that kind of masochistic streak

[@majiktommy8750]

Chef Buck hahaha!

[@HOPROPHETA]

Hey chef Platanos not Plantanos. Try a friend Maduro one with crema oh my!!!!!!!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

oops! --thanks!--I keep doing that :^(

[@HOPROPHETA]

Chef Buck Oops I meant try a fried Maduro with crema.......spellcheck!😖

[@judahultra6220]

Peel before u boil the plantain and u don't put chili powder u put cinnamon and a lil ginger and 2 table spoon of sugar.

[@aliciafuller7134]

My understanding is that plantain should not be eaten raw

[@williamo.2939]

I Can't Find those around Here , There scarcer then Hens' Teeth ...Mind You there probably Disguised as Bananas ...

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

They were less available while we were living in the Northwest, but there's no shortage of them down here...no shortage of hens, either...we're out in the semi-country now and I hear roosters crowing every morning when I head out

[@williamo.2939]

Up Here on Van.Island- I'm Stuck like a Barnacle on a Rock ,I got Chickens Cackling in My Neighbors yard and and it brings out the Racoons , Rats and the Homeless .

[@illimonty]

Nooo you fry the large green ones and boil the small green ones Chef! Don’t stir the people the wrong way lol

[@2slick4bs]

Treat your camera woman wife gf whoever with a little respect or dignity. She’s Helping u. If she likes it solo let her enjoy it don’t critique her. Y’all have diff preferences doesn’t mean her way is wrong. Thank her instead next time for helping filming. Thanks for showing your version of frying them.

[@graciehernandez1364]
