Delicious Puerto Rican Tostones

DifficultyBeginnerCategoryAir-Fryer, Sides, Snacks
Prep Time5 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time20 mins

Each plantain makes about 6 tostones.

Tostone or fried plantains are a favorite of many Latin American countries. Tostones are not the same as the sweet plantains used in many dishes called Maduros. They contain more starch & therefore are the more savory way to serve plantains. They are like a Latin American french fry! Crispy, salty, deliciously starchy, tostones are a staple in Puerto Rican meals. Traditionally, they are double fried, but Sol Canyon Kitchen makes an air fried version in this episode to compare to their delicious traditional version. Anyway, you can eat a plantain you should since they are the perfect solution for a healthy, high starch, high carb, low-fat diet. Enjoy!

By the way… the name Tostones comes from the word Tostone, which was the name of the Spanish currency used during the colonial period. Just a cool fact you may like to know! We did.
