Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe saba bananas and slice them vertically into even halves.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and water until the sugar is dissolved, forming a syrup-like consistency.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of banana into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 4
Carefully place the banana slices in the frying pan, ensuring they do not overlap. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Step 5
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bananas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6
While the bananas are still hot, sprinkle a pinch of salt over them to enhance the sweetness.
Step 7
Continue frying the remaining banana slices, replenishing the oil if necessary, until all bananas are cooked.
Step 8
Once all bananas are fried and slightly cooled, drizzle the sugar syrup evenly over them for added sweetness.
Step 9
Serve warm as an afternoon snack or a delectable dessert.
