Ingredients
- 2 raw bananas
- Oil, for deep frying
- Salt, to taste
- 0.5 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 0.25 tsp black pepper powder (optional)
Method
- Peel the raw bananas if you don't want the peel to be eaten—I am not peeling mine.
- Slice them into thin, even rounds using a knife or slicer (I used a slicer because I am not a cutting expert).
- Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the banana slices in batches until they turn golden and crispy.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel.
- While still warm, add the salt, red chili powder (you can skip this; I added it for extra spice), and black pepper powder. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Let the chips cool completely before serving.
💡 Tips & Tricks
- Airtight Storage: Store the banana chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy for days.
- Use a Mandoline Slicer: Slicing them thinly and uniformly ensures they all crisp up evenly without burning.
- Season While Warm: Spice mixtures adhere much better to the chips right after frying while the surface still holds a light oil layer.
