Ingredients

  • 6 very ripe plantain bananas
  • Salt
  • Oil for deep-frying

Method

Preparation

Peel the plantain bananas and cut them into rounds (you don’t need to scrape any bitter parts from very ripe bananas). Season the bananas with salt.

Deep-fry the banana rounds in the hot oil for 2–3 minutes until both sides are golden.

Drain on paper towel and serve hot as a snack or as a side for grilled meat or fish.
