Garlic Parmesan Yuca Tostones

Tostones are very well know in many Latin restaurants as appetizers, they are so good to enjoy with any side or alone.

In Puerto Rico we make them mini bite size, very large, stuffed, or use them as a sandwich. Sandwich? Yes, it’s very good when you add anything you like in between of two tostones.

I decided to make yuca tostones with a twist. I decided to add, garlic, parmesan and a pinch of salt. For those that don’t know what yuca is, it’s Cassava.

Cassava (yuca) is very nutritional high in vitamin C, an important vitamin that acts as an antioxidant, supports collagen production, and enhances immunity.

You might be saying but this recipe is not healthy? Right, because it’s fried, but you can also cook them in an air fryer or oven, just add 1 tbs Of olive oil to the yuca mixture.

The recipe is very simple and you can enjoy with ground meat on top or even ceviche.
