Ingredients
- 3 ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe saba bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Place a banana slice on a spring roll wrapper with the cut side facing up.
Step 3
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the banana slice.
Step 4
Fold the bottom side of the spring roll over the banana. Fold in the sides, and then roll it upwards tightly to enclose the banana completely.
Step 5
Dab a little water on the edge of the spring roll wrapper to help seal the roll.
Step 6
Repeat the process with the remaining bananas and spring roll wrappers.
Step 7
Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet or pan over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the banana turons and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the turons using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm and crunchy!
