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.
