Brazilian fried Bananas Recipe – Banana À Milanesa

This is a great side dish for a lot of Brazilian recipes and also for the traditional “feijoada”.

The contrast between the crisp crust on the outside and the soft and sweet banana inside – sweet as well as salty – is absolutely delicious and very popular in Brazil.

I made a variation of this simple recipe to make it more snack than a side dish. I coated them with cinnamon Sugar. It’s so delicious and goes well with meals or just as a snack in the afternoon! Most kids in Brazil love it.

WHAT IS Brazilian DEEP-FRIED BANANAS?

It’s a Brazilian dish made with 4 ingredients: bananas, all-purpose flour, eggs, and bread crumbs. The bananas are cut in half or fourths, then breaded in flour, eggs, and bread crumbs, and finally deep fried in oil.

In Brazil, banana fritters are a side dish — although some serve it as a dessert coated with cinnamon and sugar and topped with ice cream.

Ingredients:

• Bananas cut in 2 or 4 – small and ripe, yet firm bananas.
• Large eggs
• Light cream.
• Crumb bread
• All-purpose flour
• White Sugar
• Cinnamon powder

Variation and alternatives

You can replace flour and bread crumbs with gluten-free flour and bread crumbs.

You can replace bananas with plantains but make sure the plantains are fully ripe. They come in a black peel. Don’t worry. They won’t be mushy once fried because they are naturally firmer than regular bananas.

For an eggless version, use milk or light cream instead of eggs.

For Paleo or Whole30 diet, use coconut flour/almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and bread crumbs.

Directions

1. In a deep-fry machine or deep heavy-bottom pan, heat the oil to 350ºF (180ºC).

2. Peel off the bananas, remove the stringy parts that cling to the peeled fruit, and cut crosswise in half.

3. In a small bowl beat the eggs with the light cream.

4. On a plate mix the bread crumb and flour.

5. Soak the banana pieces in the beaten eggs to coat them lightly. Hold them over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl.

6. Coat each banana half through the dry ingredients to get an even coating on it, turn it over, and press it into the breading to coat. Shake to remove excess flour.

7. Repeat eggs and bread crumbs once more.

8. Lay them on a piece of waxed paper or a plate.

9. In another small bowl mix sugar and cinnamon.

10. Deep-fry in hot oil some banana pieces at a time until golden brown and crispy. Turn them and fry until equally brown on every side, about 1-2 minutes.

11. Immediately place the fried bananas in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and coat them well with it and then place them on a container or paper towel-lined plate.

12. Serve hot as a side dish or as a dessert adding a big scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Enjoy!
