About Fried plantains with cheese
Fried Plantains with Cheese is a flavorful dish popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. It features ripe plantains, sliced and pan-fried to caramelized perfection, served alongside or topped with melted or crumbled cheese, such as queso fresco or mozzarella. This sweet-and-savory combination highlights the natural sugars in the plantains and the creamy, salty contrast of the cheese. Plantains are a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. However, frying increases the calorie and fat content, and pairing them with cheese adds saturated fat. For a lighter version, consider baking the plantains and using low-fat cheese. Warm, satisfying, and versatile, this dish can be enjoyed as a snack, side, or even breakfast.
