Twice Baked Oil Free Tostones

July 2, 2020 by Chef T

Need another excuse to eat guac? Or perhaps your favorite salsa? We have you covered with these perfect plantain dippers.

You want to get plantains that are fairly green. If they are too yellow, they won’t get crispy and they’ll be less savory. However, if they have just a little yellow to them, they will be easier to squash. Choose your plantains wisely!

Just to be clear, these are in no way a traditional tostone. They are much crispier and thinner.

They are meant to be a plantain chip/tonstone hybrid. They are like a little cracker to spread guac on! We have included the recipe we used for a very simple guac, but it’s totally not a requirement.

If guac is not your favorite (or if finding perfectly ripe avocados is too difficult), these tostones pair well with any salsa too. I personally like pairing salsa verde with these.

Keep your guac on your tostones, not the floor,
Your favorite alternative chefs, K & T
