Much like Jambalaya, this Nouveau Cajun dish has a Caribbean influence. Deep fried plantains are a Caribbean favorite but since bananas are readily available around Southwest Louisiana, it made sense to use them in place of delicious plantains. Even though no sugar is added, this dish is a naturally sweet treat.
Turn stove on high and pour the olive oil into a skillet. Heat for 2 minutes.
While the oil is heating, cut each banana into 6 pieces by first slicing the banana in half length-wise then continuing to slice.
Place the bananas in the skillet and fry until golden brown, making sure to flip the bananas at least once. This usually takes about 5 minutes. It is better to use bananas that aren't too ripe. Overly ripe bananas caramelize too much and become too mushy.
