green plantains

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: potatoes

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

Slice the green plantains into medium to thick rounds.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to low flame.

Fry the plantain slices for about 5 minutes until golden and slightly soft.

Remove the plantains and drain the excess oil.

Flatten each fried slice using a tostonera or the bottom of a cup.

Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again for about 1-2 minutes until crispy.

Remove from oil, drain excess oil, and optionally season with salt before serving.
