Tostones are a popular Venezuelan side dish made from green plantains. The plantains are sliced and then fried until golden and crispy. They are typically served as a side to accompany main dishes or as a snack. Tostones can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce, such as guasacaca (a Venezuelan avocado sauce) or garlic sauce. The crispy texture and savory flavor of the tostones make them a delicious and addictive treat. They are a staple in Venezuelan cuisine and are often found at family gatherings and celebrations.
