Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 6 pieces skewers
Instructions
Start by peeling the saba bananas and setting them aside.
In a large pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
Once the oil is hot, add the peeled saba bananas into the pan.
Fry the bananas for about 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally until they are lightly golden.
Pour the brown sugar into the pan, spreading it over the bananas evenly.
Stir the bananas gently to coat them well with the melting sugar. The sugar will begin to caramelize.
Continue cooking, ensuring the sugar fully caramelizes and clings to the bananas for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Once the bananas are evenly coated in caramelized sugar, remove them from the pan using tongs.
Thread each banana onto a skewer.
Allow the Banana Cue to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the sugar harden slightly.
Serve warm as a sweet afternoon snack.
