About Fried smashed plantains
Fried Smashed Plantains, commonly known as "tostones," are a beloved staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. Made from unripe green plantains, these golden, crispy rounds are prepared by slicing the plantains, frying them, smashing them to flatten, and frying them again for extra crunch. Plantains are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, offering heart-health benefits and supporting the immune system. However, the double-frying process does increase their fat and calorie content, making moderation key for those mindful of their dietary intake. Traditionally enjoyed as a side dish or snack, tostones are often paired with dips like garlic sauce or served alongside savory proteins. Their combination of satisfying crunch and subtle sweetness makes them an irresistible treat, blending nutrition with indulgence in one flavorful bite.
