    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • To Prep-Ahead: These can be made in advance and stored until ready to enjoy.
  • To Store: The best way to store is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dish will keep for up to 3-4 days after cooking.
  • To Freeze: Seal fried plantains in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
  • To Reheat: In order to get that crispy coating to reappear after reheating it is best to reheat in a skillet with a bit of coconut oil. Warming them up in the microwave will give you mushy and not crispy plantains.
