Soy Free Ginger-Scallion Green Plantain Tostones

Crispy, golden, and loaded with bright flavor, these double-fried green plantain rounds are the kind of snack that disappears the moment they hit the table. The two-fry method — first to cook through, then to crisp up after smashing — gives you that satisfying crunch at the edges with a tender, starchy center that's genuinely hard to stop eating. Freshly grated ginger and sliced scallion greens get scattered over the hot tostones straight out of the pan, so the heat blooms their flavor without any extra work. The dipping sauce is where things get really clever. Coconut aminos stand in for the usual soy-based condiments, delivering that savory, slightly sweet depth without any soy whatsoever — and when whisked together with apple cider vinegar, honey, and more fresh ginger, it becomes a tangy, aromatic companion that ties the whole dish together. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of soy, so there's no label-checking or substitution stress involved. Serve them immediately with a scatter of fresh cilantro and watch them vanish.
