Pre-Sliced, Sweet Yellow Plantains for Ultimate Convenience

Cheeky Foods Frozen Sliced Ripe Plantains offer the perfect solution for busy kitchens, delivering the authentic taste of sweet fried plantain (Dodo) without any of the preparation hassle. Peeling and slicing ripe plantains can be sticky and time-consuming, and finding them at the perfect stage of ripeness can be a challenge. These plantain slices are harvested at their sweet, yellow peak, cut into traditional diagonal slices, and individually quick-frozen to lock in their natural sugars and delicate texture.

Quick & Versatile Cooking Methods

Because these slices are pre-cooked and frozen, they prepare beautifully in just a few minutes using your preferred cooking method:

• Traditional Pan-Frying: Fry the frozen slices directly in a small amount of hot vegetable oil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they develop a deeply caramelized, golden-brown crust.

• Air-Frying: Place the frozen slices in your air-fryer basket, spray lightly with oil, and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a lighter, lower-fat Dodo.

• Oven-Baking: Arrange the slices on a lined baking sheet, brush lightly with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10 to 12 minutes until soft and caramelized.

Storage & Handling Instructions
