For folks who think they just watched bananas mixed with other foods - no. Stop it! Google the damn fruit first! The plaintain is an awesome fruit which, when unripened, tastes like a potato. Hence meat dishes. When it gets ripe (yellow to black in color) it becomes super sweet and holds up well to frying. Coming from a caribbean family, those stuffed fritter-like recipes are exactly how we got rid of the leftover stew beef and chicken. I was thrilled to see this video.

I’m Dominican, Im simple, I see plátano and I like with no hesitation 🤷🏾‍♀️

plantains are under rated

Here's the best of them all: Peel your plantain and cut it in chunks. Fry them but don't let them get too fried (if that makes any sense), like when they're getting yellow but not that much. Put them on a cutting board and flatten them using another cutting board. Fry them a little longer, don't let them go too crusty. Add salt/cheese/guacamole/fried tomatoes & onions/meat or pretty much anything you like (but specially, enjoy them with salt only. It's delicious.) In Colombia we call that a patacón. Or patacona for those who are wrong.

Mhm I usually just cut em diagonal then fry them

there's so much oil in this video the usa wants to invade it.

PLANTAIN WRAPPED PLANTAINS

Never thought of being this creative with plantain ❤️❤️❤️

I'm gonna make that plantain cone and use it as a vessel for a "portable" mofongo. Thank ya kindly for the inspiration, Tasty!

loving the spanish subtitles, I can finally send a tasty video to my mom and have her know what to add! They should do this for all the episodes!! 😍

Damn I love tasty channel but seriously does everything need cheese and just salt and pepper

Super excited about these recipes. A lot of them we make but there were quite a bit of new ones. Looking forward to trying them. Thanks for the recipes.

y'all missed the tostones

I’m half Haitian and I love plantains and this looks bomb

Ok I was really confused when I saw the name and was halfway through the video. Plantains are basically like bananas they are part of the banana family, they are starchy , low in sugar variety that is cooked before serving as it is unsuitable raw. Plantains are usually served fried or baked. Plantains have thicker skin than bananas and are usually used as vegetables the are also longer than bananas. The colors of plantains can range from yellow green, green, or even BLACK. So yeah sorry this is such a long comment I was just so confused. Hope this helped!

people who have Plantain, already know what and how to cook with it, and people who don't know what to do with it, normally can't get their hands on Plantain ...

Any non-Latino Caribbeans in here?

Gracias! I really never knew what to do with those starchy 'bananas' except to boil them into a mash - now I have a Tasty repertoire!

I'm German and reside now in El Salvador with my beautiful wife,and i absolutely L O V E Plantains (Platanos) i have to have them every day .Very delicious fried and with a cup of coffee. QUE RIIIIIICO!!!!😊

As a person of Caribbean background, I could not watch this comfortably oh my goodness. Please tell me I'm not the only one. I've never seen plantain used like this before lmao... um, creative? Maybe...

I'm African and all these recipes made me say WTH? XD

As a Dominican who always eats plátanos, it gives me so much pride and happiness to see this.

As a Jamaican I approve of this video... I made of few if these before by accident didnt know what I was making had names😋😋

I'm not feeling a lot of these but B++ for creativity 👏🏾

Me encanta ver sus recetas! Ya he probado hacer una que otra. Y me gusta mucho que tengan en los vídeos los ingredientes que usan en inglés y español. Gracias! 😉

Oh my goodness!! I made the pastelon recipe for dinner and at first my 12 year old son was all like " eww bananas with meat?!" And after he tried it ,he wanted seconds. It has a very savory flavor to it, not too sweet not to salty. Perfect!

Cheers,cheese cheese .Why tho .Plantains at good w/o adding cheese.

oml i've never had plantains and now i reeeaally wanna try them someday💕

Laughs in Dodo***

These so mouth watering! Thank you

Wow. All these people complaining about cheese and plantains are hilarious. Every culture has their own way of cooking. In Latin America cheese and plantains go together like rice and beans. It’s absolutely delicious. Mozzarella and crumbly queso fresco are my two favorite cheeses to put on. Also, sweet plantains are used in desserts. Kinda hoping they had one dessert recipe on here.

Isn't this 6 cheese recipes? Oh well im just happy that tasty is back

GRACIAS POR PONERLE TRADUCCION!!! soy de Argentina y habian cosas q no sabia, NO SABES LA AYUDA Q ME DA!!!

I love plantain and this makes it even better😭👏

My mum used to make plantain boiled in coconut milk, and I will tell you, it. Tastes. Delicious. I've actually never heard of someone putting plantain in for lasagne or any savoury meals tbh. Normally you'd just fry them or bake them and add a bit of sugar, cinnamon or salt. Doesn't look so appetising to me but people like what they like. I think plantains are more for desert than with meals.

I absolutely love this 😍

As a hispanic, this video gave me a stroke

All amazing recipes plantains can be very versatile

2:17 Can that guy control his hand while sprinkling salt

Gracias! Your video puts a smile on my face today ❤

I have never wanted a plantain this much.

lmao all these people calling plantains bananas

Let's make a joke These plaintain recipes are bananas! Lol

one of the best videos by far

Shoutout to al the guyanese people 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

People :bananas are healthy Tasty: let’s bake it in a lot of oil

love these recipes

I love any culture that likes to fry things multiple times, those are my kind of people ♥

looks amazing!

I'm salvadorian and Nicaraguense and I looveee me some platanos/maduros !!!

Thanks for the spanish subtitles

Imggg u made that dish!!!!!! What can I say amazing

These look soo yumy

Wow amazing 😋 Thank you

Wow! Se ve muy rico! Like si eres latino, saludos! También soy youtuber pero de Colombia! 🙈😌

You can make flatbread with green (unripe) plantain. 2-3 green plantain cut up and put in a blender with some water, olive oil and salt. Blend until smooth. Spread on a baking sheet and cook for like 25 mins at around 400. Makes awesome flatbread.

I'm Jamaican and i have access to good amount of plantain so thank for the idea. #LOVETASTYVIDEO 👍

I always watch your vedios they inspire me to cook more better

I LOVE PLAINTAIN! Eat it every week😚

been waiting for this forever

Why so much cheese? Just curious because I don't think plaintain and cheese go together but to each its own

Looks delicious

In my town we eat them fried with sour cream and fresh cheese on top. Yummm

PATACONES!!!!! Nada como unos buenos patacones rellenos de ceviche 😊 ya tengo hambre

Delicioso 🙌🏼 Saludos desde México 😁☺️

If u are Hispanic, you are freaking out at this video! Like I see some similarities between traditional dishes and the ones in this video, but at the same time, not really. I think this video brought a different spin for others who have never tried plantains before, and have made it more appealing. Thanks!

Tasty se ha hecho más perfecto haciendo también los vídeos en español. 😊

nice!

Ive only seen plantains used in sweet dishes, these were mostly meaty and cheesy. Just a simple steamed (skin on) is great. Or deep fried with a flour batter coating (beer batter may be good, never tried)

Since we have watching like every montage possible from tasty can we see burgers and potatoes

Plantain is my favourite food but I would never put cheese on it.

I'm really glad I watch enough mitú and Pero Like to know what platano are XD. That, and I'm born and raised in Southeast Asia haha.

Delicious

What kind of oil do you fry them in?

Honestly plantain is so tasty, all it needs is a pinch of salt. I freakin loooveeee plantain

Cheese + Meat + Banana = genius! Seems like an awesome combination to me, honestly ^^

See now I am impressed af with this video, the curry one though needs a redo !

Lol. Some of you just complaining and downvoting..You don’t have to make it or eat it. It’s just some interesting options for those who would like them to try.

Aw I was hoping for a dessert recipe for these😅

This all looks very greasy, but thank you for the recipes! Plantains ftw

This reminds me of my country, the Dominican Republic. Where my Dominicans at????

I want to eat everything I see in this video...good vegetarian ideas

been eating plantain for most of my life, but I've never seen plantain being prepared like this.

Why did u guys take the pastelon off your website?

So... basically it's like Pisang Tanduk (literally means horn banana) in my country. Some of us fried it and eat it with sambal (our local chili paste) and it tastes great.

what's a plaintain and how does it taste?

PLANTAIN- a really good potato in a banana peel that cooks faster and browns nicer than a regular potato. LOL

My parents have always put pieces of platanos maduros in our pasta (I know it sounds weird asf but I grew up with that so I freaking love it) so the first recipe which basically substitutes the lasagna noodles for platanos sounds amazing to me. And the last one is (a simplified version of?) something that they make in Puerto Rico called canoas. Y'all calling out Tasty for being too white (when actually the lead producer for this particular video is black lol) but I'm pretty sure if one of your family members found one of these recipes and made it you'd be all over it. And from a foodie/chef's standpoint (as in, someone who actually cooks and has tried a lot of Tasty's recipes,) most of these recipes look pretty damn great honestly, even if they aren't 100% accurate to the ways us Puerto Ricans usually use platanos maduros. 👌

idk if it's bc i'm brazilian and we're the weird kid in south america, but i've literally never seen a salty recipe with plantain (which we call earth banana here lol) like really, what's up with that? for me, it's just boil it, peel it, put cinnamon sugar on it and mash it with a fork, no lasagnas involved!

Part 2 with tostones, patacones y platano cocido 😋🇻🇪

Omg i was the thousandth like! i feel so special ^v^. But anyways! These recipes look great! I only ever thought you could only eat them as a sweet dessert. Cant wait to try these👍

I'm in detention, but I'm also starving

I'm just here, being my Filipino self, saying "And none of this is actually weird." Tomatoes are fruits, and everyone's complaining how stupid you fry a type of banana. And I think that it's weird people put fruits in salads
