Tostones are a popular snack and side dish in Costa Rican cuisine. They are made from unripe green plantains, which are sliced and then twice-fried to create a crispy exterior and soft interior. The result is a savory and crunchy snack or side dish that is often enjoyed on its own or with dips, such as guacamole or salsa. Tostones are a staple food in Costa Rica, and are a common sight in local markets and street food stalls. They can be served as an appetizer or a side dish, and are also sometimes stuffed with ingredients such as cheese or meat to create a more substantial meal. Tostones are loved for their versatility and satisfying taste, and are an important part of the country's culinary heritage.
