Choosing Your Plantain Ripeness
The color of the peel determines what you will get. Green or yellow-green plantains are unripe and starchy — great for tostones (twice-fried) or chips. Fully yellow with black spots are ripe and sweet — these are what you want for caramelized sweet plantains (maduros). Very black plantains are overripe and intensely sweet.
Cutting and Seasoning
For sweet maduros, cut into 1-inch diagonal slices. Brush lightly with oil or cooking spray. No additional sugar is needed for ripe plantains — the natural sugars do the work. For savory green plantains, cut thicker and season with garlic salt and cumin.
