Paleo Ginger-Scallion Green Plantain Tostones

Green plantains fried in coconut oil until deeply golden and crisp — this is the kind of snack that disappears the moment it hits the table. The double-fry method is the real secret here: a first pass to cook the plantain through, a firm press to flatten each round, then a second fry that locks in those shatteringly crisp edges. Scattered with fresh ginger and thinly sliced scallion greens straight out of the hot oil, every bite carries a bright, aromatic punch that feels anything but plain. The dipping sauce — apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, and more ginger — is tangy, slightly sweet, and comes together in about thirty seconds. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally grain-free and legume-free, so there's no swapping or substituting required to make it work for a whole-foods approach. It's the kind of dish that proves eating this way doesn't mean giving up the satisfying, crunchy, flavor-forward food you actually crave.
