For the Pumpkin Puke Guacamole and Tostones
Ingredients
- Compatible guacamole (see easy homemade recipe below)
- 4 very green plantains (cannot use ripe plantains, must be green)
- Coconut oil or other high temperature cooking oil
- Salt
For the Easy Whole30 Guacamole
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2-1 bunch cilantro (I LOVE cilantro, so I use the whole bunch)
Instructions
- TO make tostones, peel plantains and cut into ½ inch chunks, cutting across the diameter to make “coins.”
- HEAT a shallow amount of cooking oil to high heat. Cook plantain coins in oil, for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from oil, salt, and smash with the bottom of a mug or a kitchen hammer.
- COOK a second time in the oil on both sides for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Remove from oil and salt again.
- CARVE your pumpkin to look like he’s “puking.” On a serving platter, scoop guacamole in front of and slightly into the pumpkin to create the “puke.” Layer cooked tostones around the guac for easy scooping. Always a hit at a Halloween dinner or party!
For the Easy Whole30 Guacamole
- Cut open and pit avocados. Scoop out avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Add all spices and mash. Finely chop cilantro (I use a small food processor to make this easier!). Add chopped cilantro to mashed avocado. Serve cold.
