Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Fry slices in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), smash them into flat rounds with a tostonera or large bottom cup.
Fry the rounds in the hot oil for 1 to 3 minutes on each side. They will turn crisp and golden brown.
Transfer them to a paper towel-lined to drain and sprinkle them generously with coarse salt and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
