I made a post concerning unripe roasted plantain and groundnut last week but my post was muted, perhaps because I didn't have enough picture for it or not enough explanation but now I've got another picture and I've come with more explanation
Unripe Roasted plantain is a snack, a snack that doesn't require much stress to get done. Roasted Plantain is a snack on it's own and Groundnut is a snack on it's own but we enjoy eating the two together, I don't know if it's tradition but that's how I fine people eat it, anywhere they sell unripe roasted plantain, they will ask how much Groundnut, it look more tradition to me so I bought roasted Plantain one day and didn't buy groundnut, the seller asked me if u didn't have money for groundnut so she can give me
I've seen where groundnut is being roasted but it takes time before it get done, unlike roasted plantain. Although I'm here to talk about roasted Plantain
Unripe Roasted plantain is one of the very easy snack to make because it doesn't take time and doesn't require much ingredients than Plantain itself, then coal and fire to roast it.
You need Buch of unripe plantain straight from the farm and should be roasted the same day because some Plantain gets ripe the following day after harvesting
Peel off the back and place it on iron net when you have already light the coal and has become hot like electric cooker
Then serve and eat
