🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe
Tostones
Tostones are the quintessential Dominican side dish — green plantains fried once, smashed flat, then fried again until shatteringly crispy on the outside and tender within. Found alongside nearly every Dominican main dish, these golden discs are simple to make but require proper technique to achieve the perfect crunch. Served with a garlicky lime dipping sauce, they are irresistible.
