FRIED GREEN BANANAS
Last week I bought 4 very green bananas in the hopes that they would ripen while we were eating the ripe ones we had. Well they never did ripen and I didn't want to throw them out or go all the way to the store just to return such a small inexpensive item. So....I decided since they were hard like plantain I'd fry them up. Not being a fan of fried foods I would never do this unless I was at a loss...which i was. I cut them in small pieces and fried them in some light vegetable oil. I tasted one, it was very bland. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on them and that tasted better. My DH, who doesn't like sweet desserts thought they were good. So now I know what to do with my green bananas that won't ripen up!

FRIED SWEET BANANAS
A very traditional breakfast or dessert in northeast Brazil, bananas or plantains are fried in butter and coated with cinnamon-sugar. Delicious with vanilla ice cream too.

GREEN BANANA FRIES
I learned about this when I was in Kenya. I've never tasted better fries nor more nutritious fries. Potatoes aren't that common in Kenya but bananas and roots are. They taste as good as any fast food French fries and are healthier. Green bananas are the healthiest because they have all their vitamins where ripe ones lose most of them because they're too ripe. Green bananas do not have a strong banana flavor at all. It's very deceptive and very healthy. I couldn't stop eating them.

Steps:
- Peel the bananas using a knife, as they are not ripe and will not peel like a yellow banana. Slice into long thin wedges or strings to make fries.
- Heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. If you have a deep-fryer, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the banana fries into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oil, and drain on paper towels. Pat off the excess oil, and season with salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring water to boil with salt and water. Cut top and bottom from the bananas. Core the sides. Add the bananas to the boiling water. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove the skin, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right bananas: Use firm and green bananas that are not yet ripe. Overly ripe bananas will be too soft and mushy when fried.
- Slice the bananas evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as crispy. If the slices are too thin, they may fall apart when fried.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the bananas to get a nice, crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet, but be sure to grease it well.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the bananas will not cook evenly. Cook the bananas in batches if necessary.
- Flip the bananas frequently: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Drain the bananas on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Fried green bananas are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to use up overripe bananas. With a little preparation and attention to detail, you can easily make fried green bananas at home. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
