Combine plantains and spices to cook this Ghanaian dish in the air fryer.

During our Teens in the Kitchen summer series, we'll be preparing and tasting food from all over the globe!

Jenna will teach basic kitchen skills and teens will leave with a recipe to take home.

This week, we'll be making kelewele: traditionally fried plantains from Ghana. We will be marinating the plantains in ginger, onions, and other spices before we cook the slices in the air fryer. We'll also learn a bit about Ghanaian cuisine. 

No prior cooking experience is necessary and no registration is needed- come ready to learn and try something new!

Contact Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org for more information.
