Aranitas (Shredded Green Plantain Patties) image

Another quick and fun way of preparing green plantains, aranitas (little spiders) come out really crunchy and look so pretty on the plate. Remember to season them as soon as they come out of the oil. Traditionally served with mayo-ketchup (1:1 ratio blend of mayonnaise and ketchup with fresh pressed garlic or garlic powder to taste).

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try cooking with green plantains. They seem so exotic.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. These patties were just okay. I've had much better.

This recipe is a waste of time. The patties were dry and tasteless.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The patties were mushy and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of plantains, but these patties were so good! The cheese and spices really balanced out the flavor of the plantains.

These plantain patties were absolutely delicious! The combination of green plantains, cheese, and spices was perfect. They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. I served them with a side of avocado salsa and they were a hit
