Baked Tostones and Guacamole

Jump to recipe

this “Baked Tostones” are by far the easiest version of tostones I have ever made! and probably the healthiest too. Traditional tostones are twice deep fried, the first time to soften the plantains before they’re smashed, and the second time to brown the plantain and make them crispy. On this method I first boil them to cook them through, then smashed them until they were very, very thin and baked on a single layer with just a brush of olive oil and seasoning.

I love not having to stand in front of the stove frying a few tostones at a time. I used that time to be productive instead, I made my guacalicious guacamole!

It’s probably not surprise that I am very particular about my guacamole, I only like to season it with salt, pepper, and lime juice. That’s it. Not garlic powder, not onion powder and pleaaaaase no cumin. I also like adding fresh and crunchy things like red onions, jalapeños and cilantro (yep, no tomatoes). That to me is the perfect guac.

How do you like your guac?

The fresh and creamy guacamole goes perfect with the crispy tostones. This is a great appetizer or party food. Or if you’re like me, you can eat it all by yourself next to the window because it was so good you couldn’t stop after the first bite.

Hello, my name is Marisol Chancellor. I was born and raised in Monterrey Mexico. I’ve been living in Texas for 12 years and even when I love barbeque, fruit cobblers and sweet tea, there’s something that has the power of transporting me right back to my mom’s kitchen and gives me a little piece of home, cooking. I grew up in the kitchen and for me, memories are always linked to food, and behind the food, well, there’s always a story that comes along. So, please let me share with you my love for cooking and while we are at it, let’s share some memories, because let’s be honest, we are also hungry for nostalgia.
