Celebrated throughout the world for its deliciousness, nutritiousness, and versatility, the humble Banana can be eaten raw, roasted, baked, fried, sautéed, or even flambéed. In Thailand, street vendors use native Namwa Bananas and coat them in a sweet batter made from shredded coconut, coconut milk, rice flour, and sesame seeds. They are then fried, resulting in a sensational snack or decadent dessert that has an ultra-crispy outside and creamy, gooey center.

If you find yourself tempted to try this traditional Thai treat, but unable to immediately hop on a plane to Thailand, there’s no need to go bananas — just take your taste buds to the frozen aisle of your neighborhood Trader Joe’s for a box of Trader Joe’s Thai Banana Fritters instead! They’re vegan and gluten free, and they can be quickly crisped up in your oven or air fryer at home. Serve these Fritters as a sublime snack on their own or add them to a bowl of French Vanilla Ice Cream for an upgraded banana split.
