Baked Turmeric Tostones

Cultural Context

Tostones are a beloved snack in Cuban cuisine, traditionally made by frying green plantains. This baked version incorporates turmeric for a vibrant color and health benefits, while maintaining the crunchy texture. Tostones are often enjoyed with dips or as a side dish, making them a versatile treat. The modern twist of baking instead of frying caters to health-conscious eaters, allowing for a guilt-free indulgence.
