Ingredients

  • 3 Green banana
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 4-5 tsp Coconut oil

Instructions

  • Wash the banana and cut off the ends. Remove any blemishes and back spots seen on the peel. Divide each banana into 4 and slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
  • Immediately add turmeric powder and salt and mix until all the pieces are coated. Cover with air tight lid and keep for 5-10 minutes. Then add few tsp of coconut oil and mix well until all the pieces are coated.
  • Preheat oven at 350 F and on a coconut oil greased tray arrange the slices on a single layer and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until your desired crispness is reached.
  • Serve the baked banana slices immediately for maximum flavor. Serve along with rice and other spicy curries as a side dish or as a snack/appetizer along with drinks.

Notes

  • Do not leave the banana slices in the oven for too long as it will turn dry and hard. Remember the if the pieces turn dry it is difficult to eat the fries.The right doneness is when the inside is soft and the outside is crisp.
  • Do not add too much turmeric powder as it will burn and taste bitter.
