I LOVE plantains...and so does my husband! These really have to be almost black before I can use them. I kind of burned them, but they were even delicious burnt! I must have used higher heat than Tyler. This is a keeper!

They were good, but needed much more time to cook in order for them to soften. They looked ripe to me, but perhaps not ripe enough.

Have to compliment Tyler. He is the first chef on the network that has actually worked with plantains in the proper manner and used them ripe, and not green. Hoorah for Tyler!!!!

I didn't smash these. Didn't see it in the recipe. After 10 minutes on each side, the plantains were still mostly raw and inedible on the inside. They were nicely browned and the edges tasted nice. I'll try again, but after I figure out where I went wrong.

I make sweet plantains alot in my house..and my family Loves em, but when i made Tyler's...OH BOY!!! My family couldn't help me enough around the house that day! The only thing i did different was that i squeeze the plantain till it feels mushy. Then i slice them open.
( Yummy..i Love Tyler's cooking!
