Tostones (Twice Fried Plantains)
Tostones are crispy, golden, twice-fried green plantains, perfect as a savory snack or side dish with a sprinkle of salt or your favorite dipping sauce!
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat up enough oil to shallow fry the plantain pieces
Peel the plantain and cut it into 2 inch pieces. It is easier to remove the peel by making an incision lengthwise first.
When the oil reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, start frying the plantains until they become golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the plantains and drain on a paper towel.
Smash the plantains using a tostonera or anything flat. You can use a plate to apply pressure on top of the plantain until it is flattened.
If you're making a large batch, dip the smashed plantains in some lime water for a few seconds. This will keep them from oxidizing.
