FAQ:
Q1: Can I use green plantains instead of ripe ones?
A: Green plantains are starchier and less sweet, better for savory dishes. Ripe plantains give this recipe its comforting sweetness and soft texture.
Q2: Is this recipe safe for people with diabetes?
A: Moderation is key. You can reduce or omit the sweetener and use unsweetened almond milk to lower sugar content.
Q3: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: Yes! Freeze in portioned containers and thaw overnight. Reheat on the stove or microwave with a bit of milk.
Q4: Are plantains good for digestion?
A: Absolutely. They’re rich in resistant starch and fiber, which promote gut health and regulate blood sugar.
