Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level to your taste
Take care not to overcook the frittata, as the texture can become tough and dry.
For a healthier twist, feel free to bake the plantain instead of frying it. Though, I personally like to fry my plantains rather than bake them because frying keeps them juicier.
Feel free to add any other vegetables you have at hand or any other protein like meat, chicken or shrimps.
