Plantain slices are a popular snack or side dish originating from Latin American, Caribbean, and African cuisines. Made from the versatile plantain, a starchy cousin of the banana, these slices are typically fried until golden and crisp, though they can also be baked for a healthier alternative. Plantains are rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, offering nutritional benefits that support digestion, heart health, and immune function. When fried, plantain slices take on a satisfying sweetness and a tender texture but can be high in calories and fat due to the oil used in preparation. For a healthier option, opt for baked or air-fried plantain slices to reduce added fats. Perfectly seasoned or enjoyed plain, plantain slices provide a delicious way to explore global flavors while benefiting from their nutrient-packed profile.
