Why Tostones Are a Must-Have on Menus
Tostones are much more than just fried plantains; they offer a delightful texture and flavor profile that appeals to a wide range of palates. Here are a few reasons why restaurants and food businesses should consider adding them to their offerings:
1. Versatile Menu Options
Tostones are incredibly versatile. They can be served as a standalone appetizer with various dipping sauces, such as garlic aioli or spicy mayo, or as a side for grilled meats, seafood, or hearty stews. Restaurants can even get creative by using tostones as a base for toppings, turning them into Latin-inspired “tostone sliders.”
2. Crispy Texture and Satisfying Flavor
Made from green plantains, tostones are sliced, fried, flattened, and then fried again, resulting in a crunchy exterior with a soft interior. This texture makes them a delicious alternative to traditional potato-based sides and appetizers. Their savory, slightly nutty flavor pairs well with a range of seasonings and sauces, making them highly customizable.
3. Healthier Fried Option
Tostones, when made with high-quality plantains and oils, offer a more nutrient-dense alternative to traditional fried foods. Plantains are high in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, making tostones a healthier choice compared to many fried snacks. This health angle can appeal to diners looking for indulgent yet nutritious options.
4. Growing Popularity and Demand
As diners become more adventurous with their food choices, Latin American and Caribbean dishes are becoming increasingly popular on menus across the globe. Tostones offer an authentic taste of these cuisines, making them a great addition for restaurants looking to diversify their offerings with popular, globally-inspired foods.
