1
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
2
Fry the Plantains
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the plantain slices and fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden yellow.
3
Press the Plantains
Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Using the bottom of a flat plate or a tostonera, press each slice to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
4
Second Fry
Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again for another 2-3 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
5
Season and Serve
Remove the tostones from the oil, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Drizzle with lime juice before serving.
