Choose firm and slightly green bananas for the best results. They should be ripe but not overly soft.
Peel the bananas and thinly slice them using a sharp knife. The slices should be uniformly thin for even cooking.
Soak the banana slices in a bowl of cold water mixed with a little salt or lemon juice. This helps prevent discolouration and adds flavour.
Pat the banana slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. You can also let them air dry for a few minutes.
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the banana slices in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the banana chips from the oil and drain them on a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper or any other seasonings of your choice while they are still warm. Allow them to cool before serving for maximum crispiness.
