Tostones are twice-fried green plantain sprinkled with sea salt—the perfect crispy, salty, tropical accompaniment to any dish.
Tostones are twice-fried green plantain sprinkled with sea salt. This crispy, tropical, salty side dish is found in Caribbean and Latin American cuisines. Today, I am going to show you how to make it.

For this recipe, you will need green plantains. You can find green plantains at your local supermarket or grocery store. I usually get mine from my local Mexican and Asian Grocery Stores.


If you prefer sweet ripe plantains then try my “Fried Sweet Plantains” recipe here.
Here is a short video on how to peel the skin off the plantains on the My Plant Base Plate YouTube channel. Give this short video a watch.
