Notes

  • If you don’t have a steaming basket, use balled aluminum foil, a wire cooling rack, or an inverted slotted pie pan.
  • Plantains can also be transformed into chips, porridge, and more!
  • Peeled plantains may take at least 10 minutes to steam, but unpeeled ones need to be cooked for at least 25 minutes.
