Vegan Canoas de Plátano Maduro are ripe plantains that are slit open, stuffed with a savory beefless ground mixture, and then baked until tender and delicious. The result is a boat-like dish that’s both visually appealing and mouth-wateringly tasty.

This Puerto Rican Pastelon is my version adapted from my abuela’s recipe. Pastelon is a classic Puerto Rican casserole dish layered with sweet plantains, stuffed with ground meat, vegetables, and bound together with beaten eggs. That is why some people refer to it as the Puerto Rican Lasagna. This version is vegan, easy to make, sweet and savory, and it will be your favorite! Every family on the island has a different way to make pastelon. I adapted my recipe from my grandma to make it vegan.
