I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tostones turned out really oily. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

These tostones were a little too crispy for my taste. I think I'll try frying them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but these tostones were surprisingly light and not greasy at all.

I'm allergic to plantains, but my husband made these tostones and he said they were delicious. I'll have to take his word for it.

These tostones were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some salt and pepper next time.
