About Platano frito
Plátano frito, or fried plantain, is a popular dish in Latin American, Caribbean, and African cuisines. Made by slicing ripe plantains and frying them in oil until golden and caramelized, this sweet and savory treat is enjoyed as a side dish, dessert, or snack. Plantains are a nutrient-rich fruit, loaded with fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, which contribute to digestive health, immune support, and muscle function. Frying, however, adds significant fat and calorie content depending on the type and amount of oil used, which can make the dish less heart-healthy if consumed in excess. For a lighter alternative, some recipes bake or sauté plantains with minimal oil. Whether served on its own, topped with cinnamon, or paired with savory dishes like rice and beans, plátano frito showcases the versatile flavors of plantains while offering a mix of nutritional benefits and indulgent richness.
