About Tostone

Tostones are crispy, twice-fried plantain slices popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. Made from unripe green plantains, they are first peeled, sliced, fried, flattened, and fried again until golden and crunchy. Tostones are often seasoned with salt and occasionally served with dips or accompaniments like guacamole, garlic sauce, or pico de gallo. Plantains are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and complex carbohydrates, making them a nutritious ingredient. However, the frying process adds significant calories and fat, which should be considered for individuals monitoring their nutritional intake. By using healthier oils and pairing with nutrient-dense toppings or sides, tostones can fit into a balanced diet. Their satisfying texture and versatility make them a beloved snack or side dish within their culinary traditions.
