Tostones are a beloved Cuban side dish made from green plantains. The plantains are sliced, fried until golden and crispy, and then flattened with a tostonera (a wooden press) to create a thin, crispy disc. Tostones are typically served as a side dish or as an appetizer, and they pair well with a variety of main dishes. They are often seasoned with salt and can be dipped in sauces or enjoyed on their own. Tostones are a delicious and addictive snack that is loved by both locals and visitors in Cuba.
