Step 1
Make banana chips. Slice the bananas into thin rounds and deep fry in oil until light brown. Drain and sprinkle with salt. If they soften upon cooling, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes. These make a great, healthy alternative to potato chips!

Step 2
Mash the bananas. Boil for 20 minutes or until soft. Add coconut milk, chopped onion and salt. Simmer for 15 minutes. Just like mashed potatoes but a little sweeter. Mashed bananas can be served as a side to any meal. Freeze for up to a month.

Step 3
Grill them. Make kabobs with assorted fruit chunks including your green bananas. Brush with melted butter, honey and lime juice. Grill for 5 minutes on each side. Serve warm with your summer barbecue. Try kabobs with melon, strawberry and pineapple.

Step 4
Turn them into dessert. Soak sliced green bananas in one cup of rum (mixed with 1/4 cup sugar) for an hour. Bake for 40 minutes at 300 degrees. Add coconut and serve with ice cream. You can also serve this dessert as a flambe. Simply place in a bowl and set on fire. The fire will burn off the alcohol. If the flames get too high, smother with a lid.
