Green banana chips
I learned of this dish when I was in Kenya. Potatoes aren't that common in Kenya but bananas are.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 5 small unripe (green) bananas
- oil for frying
- salt to taste
Method
Prep:10min ›
Cook:30min ›
Ready in:40min
- Peel the bananas using a knife, as they are not ripe and will not peel like a yellow banana. Slice into chips.
- Heat the oil in a heavy deep frying pan over medium-high heat. If you have a deep-fryer, heat the oil to 190 C. Place the banana chips into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oil, and drain on kitchen roll. Pat off the excess oil, and season with salt. Serve immediately.

Altered ingredient amounts. I added garlic to the oil and used huile de noix (walnut oil / peanut ) - 22 Oct 2008

I had made banana fries before I found this posting, and I want to add that for people who must monitor their blood glucose, green bananas have resistant starch which is less likely to elevate bg. I have type 2 diabetes, and I have eaten as many as three bananas prepared this way - all within 2 or 3 hours' time, and never suffered a spike in blood glucose. They are delicious and healthy! - 19 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
