Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe saba bananas or plantains
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 8 pieces spring roll wrappers
- cooking spray
- 1 dash dash of cinnamon (optional)
- water for sealing wrappers
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise into quarters.
Place the sliced bananas in a bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (if using), gently tossing them to coat.
Take a spring roll wrapper and place one banana piece on it, aligning it diagonally in the center.
Roll the banana up in the wrapper, folding the sides in and rolling tightly but gently.
Wet the edge of the wrapper with a little water to seal the turon.
Place the rolled turon seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat with the remaining bananas and wrappers.
Lightly spray the turon with cooking spray to aid in browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the wrappers are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the turon to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low fat banana turon warm!
