Healthy Tostones

Sorry for the weird colors... I took the pic outside and forgot to adjust my settings!

Ingredients

1 large green plantain, sliced into 1 cm. slices

2 tsp. oil (I used olive), divided

salt to taste

Directions

Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet. Place the slices of plantain into the pan, and cook until the slices are lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with paper towel and drain off the extra oil. Using a drinking glass, smash the slices of plantain until they are much thinner. Heat the other tsp. oil in your pan, and cook the smashed slices a second time. Salt while hot and enjoy!
