Creating Oven Baked Tostones is simple and rewarding. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a perfect batch:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Plantains: Peel the green plantains by cutting off the ends and slicing the skin lengthwise. Remove the skin and cut the plantains into 1-inch thick slices.
3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the plantain slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Brush with Oil: Lightly brush each slice with vegetable oil to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
5. Season: Sprinkle salt over the oil-brushed slices, adding any additional seasonings if desired.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the slices halfway through, until they are slightly golden.
7. Flatten the Slices: Remove the tostones from the oven and use a flat surface (like a plate or the bottom of a glass) to flatten each slice slightly.
8. Re-bake: Return the flattened tostones to the baking sheet, brush again with oil, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
9. Final Seasoning: Once fully baked, remove from the oven and season with additional salt if needed.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your crunchy oven-baked tostones hot out of the oven!
