Plantain lovers of the world unite. I love tostones and other dishes featuring the less common green plantain but rarely eat fried foods. This recipe offers a more health minded option while still having great results - the soft starchy interior with a crispy shell. Since I love the toothy bite in this dish, I let mine bake for 20 minutes (10 per side), gave them a generous dose of salt and kicked back for a treat. Thanks!!

This was the first time with plantains and we liked this. I did something wrong cause I could not flatten them but since I had cut them 1/4 inch think I was ok. I guess I need to cook them a bit longer to start with. Lol I am reading the instructions now again and it says to peel them first. That is why It didnt work I didnt peel them. Actually I did try and the skin wasnt movong so I guessed that it needed to be cooked. Thats what happen when you dont print or copy the recipe properly. Will make again.
