Baked Tostones

Baked Tostones - Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Paleo and Whole30 friendly

If you haven’t yet tried plantain you are seriously missing out. I love plantain, it is a great starchy veg to add to meals to keep you well satiated, and you can cook it different ways depending how ripe or unripe it is. My favorite thing to make with plantain is tostones, for those you need a green unripe plantain. Normally tostones are double fried, but can you imagine the syns? So to keep these Slimming World friendly I have come up with a oven baked version. I recommend using some synned oil for these, as the syn free spray oils just won’t cut it.

If you want to know what these taste like, the best description I can give, is like salted pieces of crispy batter (I am serious) they really do taste amazing. I love to serve them on the side of my chilli, or anything that is dip worthy.

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, whole30, paleo, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

Baked Tostones
 
Print
Serves 4
Author: Slimming Eats
Ingredients
  • 2 large green plaintains
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • paprika
  • sea salt
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
  2. Cut a small piece of each end of the plaintains, then carefully run a knife down the peel and remove the peel from both plaintains.
  3. Slice plaintains about ½ an inch in thickness.
  4. Add the slices to a bowl, add ⅔ of the olive oil, a sprinkling of paprika and a good seasoning of sea salt and toss to evenly coat.
  5. Place the plaintain slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for approx 15-20mins, they should be lightly golden and not feel as firm.
  6. One by one smash the plaintain pieces until they are thin pancake shapes (I use a small heavy pot to do this), add them back to the bowl, with the ⅓ of leftover oil and again toss to coat and then place them back on the parchment paper and bake for another 15-20mins.
  7. These are great as a side with chilli and similar type dishes.
