This sounds like veganism gone to extremes, but is actually extraordinarily good!
Serves 2
Skins from two bananas
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp soy sauce
Take the banana skins and cut off the stalk and the base. Scrape the white ‛pith’ off the skins so that they are almost translucent. Cut them into strips along the ridges.
In a wide bowl, or on a dished plate, lay out the skins. Spoon equal amount of smoked paprika and soy sauce over the skins mixing and turning until the skins are completely covered with the mixture. Add more if necessary.
Leave the skins to marinade for a quarter of an hour or so.
Add olive oil to a frying pan. Scrape in the skins with any leftover marinade and fry over a fairly high heat, turning them as necessary until they are nicely browned on both sides and turning crisp.
Add to a traditional ‛English Breakfast’, or use in Bacon Sandwiches.
