Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat a small sauce pan on low flame, when hot add oil.
Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
Saute garlic on low for about 2 minutes, do not brown.
Peel plantains and slice into 1/2 thick slices.
Add sour orange, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper and let it come to a boil.
Place in a bowl and toss with oil and salt.
Shut off and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Arrange slices on the baking sheet.
Lightly coat with a little more oil spray on top and bake for 10 minutes or until slightly brown on the bottom.
Remove from oven.
Using a tostonera (a press), slightly mash each piece to about a quarter of an inch thick. If a tostonera is not available, insert the pieces between a folded piece of brown-paper and press down using a saucer or the bottom of a glass jar.
Lightly re-spray the baking sheet and place the plantains brown side up onto the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the top and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
