How to Make Ivory Coast Fried Bananas

  1. Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the eggs and milk to the flour mixture; whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip each plantain slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered plantain slices into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  7. Fry the plantains for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve the Ivory Coast Fried Bananas warm, optionally sprinkled with powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
