Banana Croquettes
A simple dessert of fried banana slices coated in breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Bananas (Choose ripe but firm bananas.)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Use plain breadcrumbs.)
- 2 large Eggs (Lightly beaten.)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (For deep frying.)
Instructions
- 1Peel the bananas. Gently scrape the surface of the banana with a knife to remove any astringent layer close to the skin. Cut each banana in half crosswise, then remove a small slice from each end.
- 2Dip each banana piece in breadcrumbs, then in the beaten egg, and then in breadcrumbs again, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 3Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the breaded banana pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
- 4Remove the fried banana croquettes from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while warm.
