Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 12 slices ripe jackfruit
- 12 sheets spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe saba bananas or plantains and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the sliced bananas, ensuring each piece is lightly coated to enhance the natural sweetness.
Step 3
Prepare the ripe jackfruit by removing any seeds and slicing the fruit into thin strips.
Step 4
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface in a diamond shape, with one point facing you.
Step 5
Place a piece of banana and two strips of jackfruit slightly below the center of the wrapper.
Step 6
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the side corners over. Roll tightly, and seal the end with a dab of water to secure.
Step 7
Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining ingredients.
Step 8
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. It should be enough to submerge at least half of the turon rolls.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the turon in the skillet, seam side down. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 10
Cook each turon for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 11
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 12
Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy the naturally sweet and crispy turon!
