Wheat Free Ginger-Scallion Green Plantain Tostones

Green plantains fried in coconut oil until shatteringly crisp, then scattered with fresh ginger and sliced scallion greens — this is the kind of snack that disappears from the plate before you even sit down. Tostones are naturally made from whole, simple ingredients, so there's no need to swap anything out or hunt for specialty products to keep things free of wheat. Every component here — the plantains, the coconut oil, the aromatics — is straightforwardly clean. The real magic happens in that double-fry: the first round cooks the plantain through, and the second, after pressing, builds those golden, lacquered edges that make tostones so addictive. The dipping sauce ties everything together with a bright hit of apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, and more ginger — tangy, a little sweet, and deeply savory without a drop of soy sauce or anything grain-based. Scatter some fresh cilantro over the top if you have it, and serve immediately while the edges are still crackling.
