Bone broth: For added depth, opt for a high-quality bone broth or make your own at home. A large pot of bone broth can be a great staple in the kitchen for several recipes, like making my Warm Spiced Bone Broth Hot Chocolate or Sweet Purple Bone Broth Soup With Turmeric!
Adjust Seasoning: Based on preference, you might like to add more salt, garlic, olive oil, or even more onion powder. Always taste test and adjust to your liking. If it's the first time making this mashed plantains recipe, use my recommended amounts in the recipe card and then adjust from there.
