Banana Tempura Recipe

Banana Tempura Recipe

  • 3 cups oil for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups ice-cold water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package tempura batter mix
  • 3 ripe bananas, cut into 5 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste
  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Pour water into a large bowl; sprinkle tempura batter mix on top. Whisk until mix is moistened and large lumps dissolve; batter should be lumpy.
  3. Dip 5 banana slices into batter. Fry in hot oil until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining banana slices. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
