Crispy, savory, salty, golden slices of pure deliciousness. Tostones are twice-fried plantains made with green plantains that are peeled, sliced, fried, smashed, and then fried again. Serve as a side dish with your meal, or as an appetizer.
Ingredients:
2 large green plantains
canola oil
Goya Adobo to taste
Directions:
1. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the green plantains lengthwise. Slice the plantains into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the plantain slices to the skillet. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on a paper towel lined cookie sheet to absorb the excess oil.
4. Using a plate or a plantain press, smash the plantains to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
5. Fry the now smashed plantains for 2-3 minutes in the same skillet until golden brown on both sides.
6. Remove and drain on paper towels and sprinkle with Goya Adobo all-purpose seasoning. Enjoy!
TIPS: You can transfer the oil to an airtight container and reuse it at a later time if you’d like.
