Yellow plantains , also known as ripe plantains , are softer, sweeter, and more aromatic than their green counterparts. At this stage of ripeness, they develop a natural sweetness and are ideal for sweet-savory dishes , such as fried bananas, baked dishes, or caramelized side dishes .
When fried, they develop a golden brown, caramelized crust – a real highlight for African, Caribbean or South American cuisine.
