They come in a starchy version when green or yellow on the outside, and they become sweeter as the skin turns black. Regardless of the color they need to be cooked, unlike bananas. If you know of a Cuban restaurant, look for “maduros” on the menu under the side dishes. Maduros are sauteed sweet plantains — the cooking process gives them a caramelized crunch on the outside. Super good.

Such a good baking tool
That sandwich is definitely something I would chow down on
