Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

5. Fry the slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn a deep golden brown and develop crispy edges.
6. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed for even browning.
7. Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. While still hot, sprinkle the plantains with a couple of pinches of salt to balance the sweetness.

10. Drizzle the brown sugar and vanilla mixture over the warm plantains, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
11. Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture, as they can soften if left sitting too long.

- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the plantains.
- Sprinkle the pinch of salt over the plantains.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through with a spatula. Tip: Flip gently to avoid breaking them—they soften as they bake.

- Drizzle the honey over the baked plantains while they’re still hot.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the honey is bubbly and lightly caramelized. Tip: Watch closely to prevent burning—the honey can go from golden to dark quickly.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 ripe (mostly yellow with black spots) plantains
– A 15-ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
– 8 small corn tortillas
– A couple of tablespoons of olive oil
– A medium red onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– A teaspoon of ground cumin

– Optional for serving: a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese
Instructions
1. Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the plantain slices in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized. Tip: Don’t crowd the pan—cook in batches if needed for even browning.
4. Remove the plantains to a plate and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
6. Add the diced red onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
7. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt, and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
8. Add the drained black beans to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, mashing some of the beans slightly with the back of a spoon to help them thicken the mixture.
9. Warm the corn tortillas by heating them directly over a gas burner for 15-20 seconds per side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds. Tip: This keeps them pliable and prevents cracking.
10. Stir the lime juice and chopped cilantro into the black bean mixture, then remove from heat.
11. To assemble, spoon the black bean mixture onto each warm tortilla, top with a few caramelized plantain slices, and add any optional toppings like sour cream or cheese. Tip: Let the plantains cool slightly so they don’t make the tortillas soggy.

Plantain Stuffed Peppers
Ever find yourself staring at a bunch of ripe plantains and wondering what to do besides frying them? You’re in for a treat. These stuffed peppers are a fun, flavorful twist that turns simple ingredients into a complete, satisfying meal.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large bell peppers, any color you like
– A couple of ripe (yellow with black spots) plantains
– 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
– 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup of cooked white rice
– A 15-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
– A 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes, with their juices
– A big handful of shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– A good splash of water or broth
– A pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Carefully slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs from inside. Set them aside in a baking dish.
3. Peel the plantains and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain rounds and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and slightly softened. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
6. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for just 1 minute, until fragrant. Tip: Don’t let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter.
7. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Stir in the cooked white rice, rinsed black beans, and the entire can of diced tomatoes with their juices. Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes.
9. Gently fold in the cooked plantain rounds. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Tip: The plantains will continue to soften in the oven, so don’t worry if they’re still a bit firm here.
10. Spoon the filling mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers, packing it in gently.
11. Pour a splash of water or broth into the bottom of the baking dish around the peppers. This creates steam to help them cook through without drying out.
12. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
13. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each stuffed pepper.
14. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender when pierced with a fork. Tip: For extra color and crispness, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, but watch it closely!
15. Let the peppers rest for about 5 minutes before serving. They’ll be very hot inside.
These peppers come out wonderfully hearty. The plantains add a subtle sweetness that balances the savory beef and beans perfectly, creating a creamy texture within the crisp pepper shell. Try serving them over a bed of greens for a complete plate, or with a dollop of cool sour cream on top.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the plantain slices and cook for 5 minutes, turning once, until they start to brown lightly on both sides. Tip: Use ripe plantains for a sweeter, softer texture—they’ll hold up better in the stew.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, drained chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Tip: Simmering covered helps the flavors meld and keeps the plantains tender without falling apart.
7. After 20 minutes, remove the lid and simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken the stew slightly. Tip: If you prefer a thicker stew, let it simmer uncovered for an extra 2–3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

Ready to dig in? The plantains get wonderfully caramelized and tender, while the shrimp stay succulent with a hint of smokiness from the spices. Serve these skewers over a bed of rice or with a simple avocado salad for a complete meal that’ll transport you straight to the tropics.
