Fried Chayote Slices (Green Plantain Style)

What it is
A clever keto substitute for traditional tostones, using chayote squash. Slices of chayote are twice-fried, flattened, and seasoned with garlic salt, mimicking the texture and flavor of green plantain tostones. Served with a side of traditional garlic mojo.
Key ingredients
Chayote squash, lard or olive oil for frying, garlic powder, salt, garlic mojo (made with olive oil, garlic, sour orange or lime juice, salt).
How to make it keto
Ensure chayote is used instead of plantains. Confirm frying oil is lard or olive oil, not vegetable or seed oils. Verify mojo is made without sugar.
Watch out for
Actual plantain being used, frying in high-carb or inflammatory seed oils, sugar in the mojo sauce.
