Is frying the only way to cook plantains?

    If they are yellow, with black spots you can grill them, bake them, boil it.

    Delicious when boiled in coconut milk.

    Grilled - super yummy! In parts of Africa, where they are a staple starch, they are boiled and mashed like potatoes. It's okay, but I'd rather have potatoes. :) (Some people love them that way though...)

    Ripe plantains taste good baked in the oven in some foil and also can be boiled. If they're super ripe with black skin they'll be so sweet you can just slice and panfry with some cooking spray and cut out calorie from frying them.
