Banana Chips
This is a recipe from Kenya where potatoes are not as common as bananas. They are delicious and healthy.

- 5 small unripe (green) bananas
- oil for frying
- salt to taste

- 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 degrees 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 paper. Pat off the excess oil, and season with salt. Serve immediately.

I didn't tell my husband these were bananas and he ate the whole plate of fries! Mistake on my part, an hour later when I told him what they were, he became a little testy! Just goes to show ya, it's mostly psychological with food. I fried these in olive oil to make them even more healthy. Thanks for sharing your recipe! - 29 Sep 2008
Yummy! We loved these fries - especially the kids. I fried them in peanut oil and sprinkled with salt. Then, served them with mayonaise for dipping. Very different and a nice change of pace from potato fries. - 29 Sep 2008
