Categories     side-dish

Time 12m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Flaked sea salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot, add enough oil to fill halfway. Heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 350 degrees F or the handle of a wooden spoon begins to sizzle immediately when dipped in the oil.
  • Add the plantains and fry until bright yellow and slightly golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon to a sheet of parchment paper. Make sure all pieces are standing tall on the cut side, then place another sheet over the top. Using a small plate, glass or other flat item smash each piece into a 1/4-inch jagged circle.
  • Place the plantain discs back in the oil and fry for 4 to 6 more minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove to a wire rack and sprinkle with salt.

The mojo sauce is the perfect complement to these tostones. It's tangy and flavorful.

The twice-frying process makes these tostones extra crispy.

I love that this recipe uses green plantains. They have a more complex flavor than yellow plantains.

I found that the tostones didn't get crispy enough, even after frying them twice.

These tostones were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I loved the combination of the salty plantains with the sweet and tangy mojo sauce. I will definitely be making these again.
