Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Trim ends from plantains, then cut a slit down one side. Peel plantains, beginning at the slit. Slice crosswise into 12 pieces, each about 1/2-inch thick. Place in a large bowl.

Toss plantain slices with oil and 1/8 tsp of the salt. Transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet (or lined with nonstick foil), laying slices flat.

Bake plantain slices for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Place a few slices on cutting board, and press gently with the bottom of a flat glass. Turn over (bottoms will be lightly browned) and return to baking sheet. Repeat with all slices.

Coat plantain slices lightly with cooking spray sprinkle with remaining 1/8 tsp salt.

Return baking sheet to oven and bake and additional 5 minutes, until crisp.

Serve tostones warm with Cilantro Cream on the side for dipping.
