Ghanaian cuisine is built around starchy staples like cassava, plantain, and maize, paired with richly spiced soups and stews. Palm nut, peanut, and tomato-based sauces form the foundation of many dishes eaten across the country's diverse regions.

Jollof rice, fufu, and banku are among Ghana's most recognized dishes, often served with grilled fish, goat, or chicken. Street food culture is vibrant, with grilled meats and fried plantain widely available in cities and towns alike.
