"TOSTONES"...Twice NOT fried Green Plantains

[0000000Lara]

I tried this recipe and it came out horrible. Weird because I really know how to cook very well. This recipe doesnt really work

[fitcoach2007]

@0000000Lara Thats interesting the other 59 comments on this video are all positive about this recipe. Hope you try it again.

[Nacidodelmar]

@0000000Lara Of course it comes out horrible, tostones are tostones they need to be fry.

[iluvworkingout]

Okay, I am gonna try this. Tostones is the only fried food I eat, besides an occasional french fry here and there. Thanks!

[fitcoach2007]

@iluvworkingout give it a try let me know what you think

[TriniGyalLuv2Cook]

I loved fried foods, but this looks like a great alternative. My husband loves tostones so I might try these. Thanks for sharing!

[fitcoach2007]

@TriniGyalLuv2Cook hope you like it Enjoy!

[Apololover]

Awesome, I finally found a video with good quality.  I'm thinking about trying this recipe out soon with either marinara sauce some homemade mango salsa. Do you eat anything on your tostones?

[fitcoach2007]

@Apololover I use Mojo on my Tostones

[MireillaWinters]

My mom used to make these back in africa ,i have been looking for an alternate version to deep frying them, and this is awesome. I wonder if just baking them right of and smashing them will work. And yes the best plantain to use is green or half green. Don't use the ripe ones.

[fitcoach2007]

@MireillaWinters You have to place them in the stock first to soften them. If you smashed the plantains raw to would fall apart. Glad you liked the recipe.

[NaturalBronzeBomb]

I had Tostones, last night at Havana Road here in Baltimore for the first time! I'm going to try this recipe soon! Thanks!

[fitcoach2007]

@NaturalBronzeBomb Enjoy this version.

[MrNativeDancer]

This recipe looks fantatsic!! I hope to get some Plantains next weekend and I will definitely be trying this, thats for sure.

Could these be dehidrated for long term storage or used as a snack etc?

Nice Video!

[fitcoach2007]

@MrNativeDancer I have never dehydrated plantains, by give it a try and let me know.

[Witchyone131]

Very clever recipe! I love plantains, must try it

[fitcoach2007]

@Witchyone131 let me know how they come out for you.

[honeypi]

I made these except I microwaved a whole plantain (slit the skin lengthwise first) instead of boiling. Came out great.

[abracadaverous]

I love it, thanks for the recipe! I have some plantains here just begging to become tostones, but I don't need to carry them around on my butt!

[fitcoach2007]

@abracadaverous LOL...Well go make some healthy tostones and enjoy them with out worrying that they will end up in the wrong place. :)

[exiagundamit]

perfect. Love the cooking method. I will pan fry with a small amount of oil after I boil them, and rub them with freshly minced garlic, chili peppers, and make a sweet chili, rice vinegar and mustard dipping sauce.

[fitcoach2007]

@exiagundamit Sounds delicious what you are going to do with the finish product.

[Christinitamb]

Wow! I am going out to buy some plantains tomorrow!  Is there any way to get mofongo without frying as well?

[fitcoach2007]

@Christinitamb Yea you can make Mofongo this way. Cook it the way I shoe in the video and then mash them up in a mortar and pestle

[Christinitamb]

Wow! I am going out to buy some plantains tomorrow! Is there any way to get mofongo without frying as well?

[ElLigaVecinaPR]

Los tostones boricua son los mejores que hay !!!

[marburg6]

very cool recipe and a great way to cut out lots of oil. I will try it tomorrow.

[momof3fabdivas]

what is the 1/2 cup mojo for?

what is mojo?

thanks! these looks delicious

[fitcoach2007]

@momof3fabdivas Mojo is a citrus & garlic marinate, used to top over the Tostones. You can find the recipe at my site. Just do a search for Mojo.

[fotogrl1]

awesome!!! I LOVE tostones, but I try to avoid fried food as much as possible. This is great; thank you!

[fitcoach2007]

@fotogrl1 NO Frying here, Enjoy! :)

[71PGA]

What a great recipe!

I'm going to give this a try at our football party today, GO BEARS!

[JanyRey]

OMG Thank You!!

[fitcoach2007]

@JanyRey you are welcome

[Titinefer1129]

Thanks, I love platanos, maduros and tostones. I have never made them before because I rather not fry if I can avoid it. I was thinking to try to cook them other ways but was to cautious because I dont want to have a bad batch of tostones. You have given me courage to do this.

[fitcoach2007]

@Titinefer1129 you can do this...it is very easy. make sure the plantains are still green.

[howiejfc]

o no se llama tostones, se llaman patacones, (ecuador ). que no se les olvide que eso se invento aca. y ademas haces vueltas para unos simples patacones, que ni se preparan asi

[veeganboy]

An excellent alternative to deep frying. 

[fitcoach2007]

@veeganboy Thank you.

[yrofick]

Ingenious! I am going to try that.

[BarbieJess7]

I made them the other day and I was surprise cause actually they tasted really good!!

[UnforsakenXII]

[Akikaze81]

This looks awesome! I can't wait to try it. Any idea what the calories would be?

[fitcoach2007]

No I don't know the calories in this. I hate counting calories, I use the portion method to stay in my parameters. I have video on my channel about portion control using your hands to measure.

[9aspengold5]

Now this looks like a great idea. thanks

[fitcoach2007]

well thank you!

[tatosta2]
