HOW TO MAKE THE CRISPIEST FRIED PLANTAINS | TOSTONES | Hawt Chef

green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Zucchini is lower in calories and potatoes are more budget-friendly.

Cut off the ends of the green plantains.

Slice the plantains all the way around without going too deep, or peel them directly.

Cut the plantains into 2-inch long pieces, making some thin and some thick slices.

Heat oil in a frying pan to about 350°F.

Deep fry the plantain slices for about 3 to 5 minutes until the first fry is done.

Remove the plantains and allow them to drain on a piece of foil.

Place the fried plantains in the center of the foil and fold it over.

Use a bowl to crush the plantains, ensuring they don't stick to anything.

Return the crushed plantains to the hot oil and fry for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oil and allow to drain slightly, then immediately season with salt.
