Kelewele is a flavorful Ghanaian dish consisting of deep-fried plantain chunks that are usually combined with salt, ginger, and hot peppers. It is usually served as an accompaniment to bean stews or rice dishes, although kelewele is also often sold by numerous African street vendors as a dessert.

Cooks usually like to add peanuts, cloves, nutmeg, or cinnamon to the mix in order to give kelewele an additional layer of flavor.
