Recipe Notes
Meal Prep and Storage
- To Prep-Ahead: These can be made in advance and stored until ready to enjoy.
- To Store: The best way to store is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dish will keep for up to 3-4 days after cooking.
- To Freeze: Seal fried plantains in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To Reheat: In order to get that crispy coating to reappear after reheating it is best to reheat in a skillet with a bit of coconut oil. Warming them up in the microwave will give you mushy and not crispy plantains.
