Yeast Free Ginger-Scallion Green Plantain Tostones

Crispy, golden, and loaded with bold flavor, these twice-fried green plantain rounds are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The double-fry method — first to cook through, then to crisp up after smashing — gives you that satisfying crunch without any leavening agents, making this naturally free of the fermented or yeast-based ingredients that can be tricky to avoid. Fresh ginger and sliced scallion greens get scattered right over the hot tostones so the heat blooms their flavor instantly, no marinating required. The dipping sauce is where things really shine: apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, and more ginger come together into something tangy, savory, and just a little sweet. Coconut aminos keep the sauce clean and deeply savory without any of the fermented soy concerns that come with traditional soy sauce. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, so you're not hunting labels or second-guessing what's hiding in a condiment. Finish with a handful of fresh cilantro if you have it — it adds a bright pop that ties the whole plate together.
