Crispy Salted Tostones - super easy recipe for golden brown bites of perfection with just one ingredient: PLANTAINS! video demo in the post.

Crispy Salted Tostones

green plantains

vegetable oil

sea salt

Magic Green Sauce

Peel the plantains by making a vertical cut through the skin and peeling it back with your hands or the edge of a spoon (see video).

Cut the plantains into 1-inch thick pieces. Heat a layer of oil in a heavy bottomed pan (see video to eyeball the amount).

Fry the plantains in batches. When the plantains are starting to turn light golden brown, remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Smash each piece with the back of a wooden spoon &#8211; this gives you a flatter shape with rougher edges. Return to the frying pan and fry for an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer back to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately, dipped in some kind of yummy sauce.

Uuugh why must you make me go to the grocery store on a Friday?! I mean because after that video I obviously have no choice 

And the music...hahaha all I kept thinking about is 

i basically consider you best chef who always provides <a href="http://www.foodiedesires.com" rel="nofollow">clean eating recipes</a>.

Hi! loved your post! I am from Costa Rica, live half the time in Costa Rica and Panama (Central America) and we eat a lot of them here. We call them Patacones not Tostones (In Nicaragua they do call them that!) 

We usually make them skinner, we even have special wooden smashers! :) The secret is that they have to be green!!! Any ripe Plantain will not work or taste the same. The salt has to be put on with the oil hot if not it won't stick as well :) 

Love your blog and if you're interested on Costa Rica o Panama food let me know and I will email you recipes!

Two thumbs up! And Ana, would love to learn about your recipes, too.

I LOVE tostones, but I'm Puerto Rican so it's a must  I like them thinner though, thinner and crispy *drools* here in Puerto Rico you can even find them at Chinese restaurants. They make the best garlic tostones! I'm definitely making that cilantro lime sauce mmmmm!
