Hi guys! Using a non-stick pan with a bit of water or vegetable broth can help you cook plantains without oil. I think it works well, though you may need to adjust the cooking time.

Absolutely! You can definitely fry plantains without oil. Try air-frying them or pan-frying them with a small amount of water. They'll still get that crispy exterior and delicious flavor.

Yes, you can fry plantains without oil by using an air fryer or baking them in the oven until they’re crispy, achieving a delicious result with less fat!
