Ingredients

• 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
• 1 cup canned jackfruit
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 half cup more brown sugar for coating

Directions

Step 1

Peel the saba bananas and slice each banana lengthwise into halves.

Step 2

Drain the canned jackfruit and cut into thin strips that are approximately 2 inches long.

Step 3

Set the spring roll wrappers on a clean, dry work surface.

Step 4

Take one wrapper and lay it flat, placing a banana half near one of the corners closest to you.

Step 5

Add about 2-3 pieces of jackfruit strips on top of the banana within the wrapper.

Step 6

Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the banana and jackfruit.

Step 7

Fold the corner of the wrapper over the banana and jackfruit filling, rolling it tightly but gently.

Step 8

Fold the sides over the filling and continue rolling until you have a neat log shape.

Step 9

Dab a little water on the final corner to seal the wrapper shut.

Step 10

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining banana and jackfruit slices.

Step 11

In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Gently place the rolled turon in batches into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 13

Fry each turon for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until the wrapper is golden brown and crispy.

Step 14

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried turon and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 15

While still hot, roll the turon in additional brown sugar to coat the surface.

Step 16

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
