Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or ripe plantains)
- 1 cup canned or fresh jackfruit
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the saba bananas or plantains and slice each banana into half lengthwise.
Step 2
If using canned jackfruit, drain well and slice into thin strips. If using fresh jackfruit, remove seeds and slice into thin strips.
Step 3
Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface and lay one sliced banana half on it about two inches from the bottom edge.
Step 4
Top the banana with a few strips of jackfruit and sprinkle about one to two teaspoons of brown sugar over the fruit.
Step 5
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and tightly roll up the wrapper, sealing the end with a dab of water to keep it closed. Repeat this process for all wrappers.
Step 6
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it's hot enough for frying.
Step 7
Fry each turon in batches until golden brown and crispy, about two to three minutes per side.
Step 8
Remove the turon from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Optionally, you can drizzle with more brown sugar syrup or serve with dairy-free ice cream.
