Tostones are crispy fried green plantains with an irresistible taste and crave-worthy crunch. Eating a tostone is like grabbing the first chip from a bag, you can\u2019t have just one. Tostones are a staple in Caribbean cuisine, especially Cuban food. They\u2019re typically served as a side, making them the perfect companion for Latin dishes like arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) or ceviche<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tostones are a simple pleasure. You don\u2019t need much to make them shine, just a sprinkle of salt as a finishing touch. This recipe only calls for only three ingredients: plantains, vegetable oil, and salt. It\u2019s truly that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Crispy Cuban Tostones are twice-fried to get that signature crispy crunch. Plantains are cut up then fried first, smashed, and fried again until golden brown. One plantain will yield about three to four medium-sized tostones. You should account for 2-4 tostones per person. This recipe yields about 16 tostones from 4 plantains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
