Ingredients

  • 4 ripe saba bananas (or any firm cooking banana)
  • 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them thinly, about 3-5 mm thick.
  2. In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the banana slices in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  6. While still warm, sprinkle with salt and sugar if desired for flavor.
  7. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
