About Tostones
Tostones are a popular dish originating from Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, particularly enjoyed in countries like Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. They are made by slicing green plantains into thick chunks, frying them until golden, smashing them into flat discs, and frying them again for extra crispiness. Tostones are typically seasoned with salt and sometimes served with dipping sauces, garlic mojo, or alongside savory dishes. While plantains themselves are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, tostones are relatively high in calories and fat due to the double frying process, which may contribute to added saturated fats depending on the type of oil used. Moderation and pairing them with healthier sides can make them a more balanced treat. Their crispy texture and robust flavor make them a beloved addition to meals or enjoyed as a snack.
