If you've never cooked with plantain before, this is a great recipe to start with. Although they're related to bananas, plantains are starchier and are always cooked before eating. As they ripen, they become naturally sweeter, making them perfect for roasting until caramelised and tender.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
