Tips and Tricks

Make sure to use ripe plantains for the best flavor and texture.
Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the plantains from sticking to the pan.
Adjust the amount of coconut sugar to your desired level of sweetness.
If you don't have coconut oil, use any other neutral-flavored oil like vegetable or canola oil.
