Fried bananas in a frying pan, recipes with photos

Bananas are very tasty and healthy berries. Yes Yes! Specifically berries, since they have a “triple” structure characteristic of berries: a compacted skin, pulp and an inner part with seeds. But whatever the banana fruit is in botanical classification, for most people it remains one of the most beloved fruits. Well, in our country it’s somehow not customary to fry fruits. And in vain. Fried bananas are a good dessert, and if there is no sugar and certain spices are present, they are also a good side dish.

Main rules

To get an unusual side dish or a delicious dessert, you need to take not very ripe bananas. The bright yellow and especially overripe fruits in the frying pan turned into an unappetizing porridge.

Before frying, the fruits must be peeled and cut. There's not much to say about skinning. This process is carried out completely normally. But you need to cut bananas not into circles, as is usually done, but into longitudinal strips. Very long fruits can be divided into two or three parts in advance or cut diagonally, like smoked sausage.

The thickness of each piece does not have to be very large. Experienced cooks recommend that it range from 1 to 2 cm.
