Choosing the Right Bananas: Ensure the bananas are firm, green, and unripe. They should feel hard to the touch. Oil Temperature: Maintaining the correct oil temperature is crucial for achieving crispy fries. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Batch Frying: Avoid overcrowding the pot to prevent the oil temperature from dropping and resulting in soggy fries. Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding a pinch of chili powder, garlic powder, or smoked paprika for a flavorful twist.
