👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Peel the green plantains by cutting off the ends and making a lengthwise slit in the skin. Carefully remove the skin.
💡 Conseils de pro: Use a sharp knife to make the slit, being careful not to cut too deep into the flesh. - 2
Slice the plantains into 1-inch thick pieces.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
💡 Conseils de pro: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. - 4
Fry the plantain slices in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and tender. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. - 5
Using a flat surface or a tostonera (plantain press), flatten each fried plantain slice to about 1/2 inch thick.
💡 Conseils de pro: You can also use the bottom of a glass or a small plate. - 6
Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again for 2-3 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt to taste.
💡 Conseils de pro: This second fry is what makes them crispy. - 7
While the tostones are frying, prepare the cilantro mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
💡 Conseils de pro: Adjust seasoning to your preference. - 8
Serve the tostones hot, accompanied by the cilantro mayonnaise for dipping.
💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For best results, use firm, green plantains.
- ✓If you don't have a tostonera, the bottom of a sturdy glass or a small plate works well for flattening.
- ✓The cilantro mayonnaise can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
