Ingredients
- 1 cup corn oil
- 3 green plantains peeled, and 1-inch slices
- coarse salt
- crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Fry slices in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
- Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), smash them into flat rounds with a tostonera or large bottom cup.
- Fry the rounds in the hot oil for 1 to 3 minutes on each side. They will turn crisp and golden brown.
- Transfer them to a paper towel-lined to drain and sprinkle them generously with coarse salt and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to serve these topped with cheese as an appetizer, or with shrimp ceviche, pulled chicken, or avocado salad.
