Essensual,
I know this is really a simple thing, but I like to dehydrate them and eat em with almond butter....I'm open for some plantain recipes too :)

Mmmm....I LOVE plantain chips. Could you make those in the dehydrator?

...I would think that you could. I just don't have one yet. If anybody tries it, let me know how it goes. I wonder if they turn black like I've heard about potatoes...

No, they don't get black but dark - marinate in a little oil, use only a little salt and dehydrate until crisp or if you cut them thicker - they actually will look like the eggplant bacon in color and sprinkle some agave or honey, cinnamon - good eats when they come out of the dehydrator.

You can eat them raw, the skin will have to be black because then it is ripe, a little almond milk, sweetner, vanilla, and cinnamon whipped up as a pudding.

I dehydrate mine in a dehydrator, they don't turn black, but FYI it takes a long time to dehydrate. And you'll definitely want to make sure they're black on the outside first...I'd never had plaintains this ripe before, I ate a bunch as I sliced them up...yum! it took me about 2 days with my Nesco (aka wally-world brand) dehydrator.

Hope I helped!
