Instructions
- Peel the green bananas: trim the ends, make a cut along the skin and remove it by hand or with a paring knife.
- Slice the bananas very thinly, ideally with a mandoline, and drop the slices into water with a splash of vinegar so they don't darken.
- Drain and dry the slices thoroughly with a clean tea towel.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan to about 170 °C; a small piece of banana should sizzle without burning.
- Fry the slices in small batches for about 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and season immediately with salt and pepper.
- Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Variations and tips
Spicy version. Sprinkle with chilli powder while the chips are still hot.
