Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick slices.
Fry the slices for the first time in 170°C oil for 4 minutes.
Flatten the plantains by pressing them down, so the surface widens for the second fry.
Fry the flattened slices for 4 minutes more and transfer to paper towels.
Whisk the garlic, lime juice, and olive oil together and drizzle over the hot tostones.
💡 Tip: After the first fry, press the plantains with a flat bottom; they widen without cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the mojo sauce in a separate bowl and sprinkle coarse salt over the top.
