- Tongs
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- green bananas
- vegetable oil
- salt

Instructions
- Start by peeling the green bananas and slicing them into even-sized pieces. You can choose to cut them into rounds or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
- In a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to around 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the banana slices.
- Carefully add the banana slices to the hot oil, in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 4-6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even frying.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the fried green bananas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While the fried green bananas are still hot, sprinkle them with salt or your choice of spices for added flavor. Serve them immediately as a snack or side dish.
- Crispy and delicious, these fried green bananas are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve them on their own or as a side dish alongside your favorite dipping sauces or condiments.
