Ugandan cuisine centers on matoke, a cooking banana, alongside cassava, sweet potato, and beans. Regional variation exists across the country's many ethnic groups and agricultural traditions.

Matoke, steamed and mashed green bananas, is widely regarded as Uganda's national dish. Groundnut sauce commonly accompanies many traditional Ugandan meals.
