How To Make Haitian Styled Fried Plantains | Banan Peze Recipe

Peel the green bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.

Boil the banana halves in salted water for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Remove the bananas from the water and let them cool for a few minutes.

Using a flat surface, gently flatten each banana half with a heavy object or a flat-bottomed pan.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Fry the flattened bananas in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried bananas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and additional salt if desired.

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
