It is one of those dishes that is eaten all across the country from Atitlan and Antigua to <a href=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/best-things-to-do-in-guatemala-city\/\">Guatemala City<\/a> and Quetzaltenango.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Guatemala, platanos are used in many different dishes, including soups, stews, and main courses. They are a staple food in many Guatemalan households and are an important part of the country&#8217;s culinary heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_between_plantains_and_bananas\"><\/span><b>Different between plantains and bananas<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people in the USA are familiar with bananas but are not used to eating or cooking plantains. So what is the difference between a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/True_plantains\">plantain<\/a> and a banana? They look pretty similar, but they\u2019re actually quite different!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, bananas are sweeter and softer, with a yellow or even reddish skin when they&#8217;re ripe. Plantains, on the other hand, are starchy and much less sweet. They also have a thicker, green or yellow skin that turns black as they ripen. In fact, plantains are rarely eaten raw and are usually cooked before consuming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57511 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Plantains\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_578476090_XL.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another difference is in how they&#8217;re used in cooking. Bananas are typically eaten raw or used in desserts, smoothies, and other sweet dishes. Meanwhile, plantains are used more like a vegetable, and are often fried or boiled as a side dish or snack. They can also be mashed and used in savory dishes, such as stews and soups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, plantains tend to be larger and more elongated than bananas. They also have a firmer, denser texture, and are less juicy than bananas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_do_plantains_come_from\"><\/span><b>Where do plantains come from?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plantains, the key ingredient in platanitos fritos, are a type of fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. They are similar to bananas but are larger, have thicker skin, and are less sweet. Plantains are widely used in many countries, including Guatemala, where they are a staple food in many households.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plantains have been an important staple food in many cultures for centuries, and this is certainly true in <a href=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/guatemala-travel-guide\/\">Guatemala<\/a>.

They are high in fiber, which is important for maintaining digestive health and can also help lower cholesterol levels. Plantains are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients are essential for overall health and can help boost the immune system, support healthy bones and muscles, and help regulate blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of using plantains in your cooking is that they are low in fat and calories, making them a healthy choice for those who are watching their weight. This means that you can enjoy the delicious flavor and texture of plantains without worrying about consuming too many calories or unhealthy fats.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_make_platanitos_fritos\"><\/span><b>How to make platanitos fritos<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platanos fritos is an easy recipe that requires just a few ingredients.

Well, a lot of folks out there think that a ripe plantain is actually a rotten one, but let me tell you, that\u2019s when they\u2019re at their sweetest! To get the best taste, you want your plantain to be mostly black with just a bit of yellow left, and still have some firmness when you give it a gentle squeeze, like when you&#8217;re checking a ripe peach. And hey, even completely black plantains are still good to eat, they&#8217;re just a bit too soft to work with easily, but boy are they delicious.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57517\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57517 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"How do you know a plantain is ripe? \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/shutterstock_2040802157.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How do you know a plantain is ripe?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, it can be tough to find ripe plantains at your local grocery store. Usually, they&#8217;re sold green and need some time to ripen at home. Depending on the temperature and time of year, it could take anywhere from a few days to a whole week to get them just right. But if you&#8217;re looking for ripe plantains, I&#8217;d suggest checking out your local Latin or Asian market. They tend to have a better selection and will often have the riper ones available. So don&#8217;t be shy, go out there and get yourself some ripe plantains, you won&#8217;t regret it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recipe_for_making_platanos_fritos\"><\/span><strong>Recipe for making platanos fritos<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I learned to make platanitos fritos at an early age. It&#8217;s one of those basic recipes that are so easy yet delicious. For me the key to making the best platanitos fritos is making sure that they are very ripe, because the riper the plantains are the sweeter. When frying them they should come out slightly caramelized on the outside and soft on the inside but still firm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>2 large very ripe plantains<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>Sugar for sprinkling (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Peel the ripe plantains and slice into slightly diagonal 1\/2 inch rounds.<\/li>\n<li>Add them to the pan. Cook each side of the plantain until golden and slightly caramelized, for 2 to 3 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Remove them from the oil onto a plate covered with a paper towel to remove excess oil.<\/li>\n<li>Serve hot sprinkled with sugar, or drizzled with crema and add sugar or serve without adding anything at all as a side dish or as an appetizer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_making_the_best_platanos_fritos\"><\/span><strong>Tips for making the best platanos fritos<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use plantains and not bananas: <\/strong>In Spain banana and plantain are used&nbsp;interchangeably as if they where the same fruit. This also happens sometimes in English. Make sure you are buying plantains and not bananas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use ripe plantains:<\/strong> I cannot stress this enough. Plantains must be very ripe, almost black, to make the best platanitos fritos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut them diagonally:<\/strong> instead of cutting them into round slices, place the knife in a slight diagonal angle to the plantain so that the slices are slightly more elongated. This helps the plantain slices cook more uniformly and give the platanitos fritos their signature look.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook them at medium low heat:<\/strong> don&#8217;t rush your platanitos. When frying them have some patience to give them time to caramelize on the outside and cook through without burning.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch closely so they don&#8217;t burn.<\/strong> If the oil is too hot the plantains can burn quickly so keep an eye on them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57509\" style=\"width: 808px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57509 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-818x1024.jpg\" alt=\"How to make the best platanitos fritos or caramelized plantains\" width=\"818\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-1227x1536.jpg 1227w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-1636x2048.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-560x701.jpg 560w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-600x751.jpg 600w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/growingupbilingual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Depositphotos_444241120_XL.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to make the best platanitos fritos or caramelized plantains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_eat_platanos_fritos\"><\/span><b>How to eat pl\u00e1tanos fritos<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve mentioned before platanitos fritos are used as a side dish for many meals.
