Baked Tostones


Yum, Yum, Yum. I love plantains but until recently wasn't brave enough to make them and didn't want the calories from frying them. Lucky Gina came to the rescue again with this recipe. Made to serve with Chicken Ropa Vieja but these go well with any Cuban, Mexican, or Latin dish.

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium green plantains
  • Zero Calorie Spray Butter
  • salt
  • Pam spray
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°.
  2. Peel plantains and slice into 1/2 thick slices. Arrange slices on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Coat with spray butter and sprinkle on salt.Remove from oven and using a heavy glass flatten to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip plantains, add a little more oil spray on top and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy..
  4. Remove from oven.
Makes 2 servings. Calories vary depending on the size of the plantain. Approximately 120 calories per serving.
