Cut away the edges of the green bananas.

Make slits on the peel of the bananas without cutting into the fruit.

Peel the bananas using the slits made.

Heat sunflower oil in a deep skillet for frying.

Prepare a saltwater mixture by dissolving 2 teaspoons of salt in a bowl with some water.

Slice the bananas directly into the hot oil using a slicer, ensuring the slices are not too thin or too thick.

Reduce the flame while slicing the bananas to avoid burns.

After about a minute of frying, add a spoon of the saltwater mixture to the oil, moving away to avoid splatter.

Wait until the bubbling from the oil dies down, indicating the chips are done frying.

Carefully drain the chips onto absorbent paper after the bubbling has stopped.

Repeat the process with the remaining bananas, ensuring to slice them directly into the oil and add saltwater each time.

Allow the chips to cool before storing them in a box.
