Here are 50 healthy, delicious banana recipes on roundup for those who can't get enough of this pulpy fruit. Bananas can work in savory dishes if it is fried as chips, but it's generally best in smoothies and desserts. Those wishing to use bananas in unconventional recipes may want to check out plantains, as they offer a flavor and texture similar to potatoes. This section, however, will focus exclusively on the sweet dessert banana. 

When experimenting with banana recipes, avoid pairing the fruit with more expensive, subtle fruits like mangosteen and lychee: the potent taste of banana will overwhelm these delicate notes. The flavors that go best with banana are as follows:
