Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ripe saba bananas
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas and set them aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the peeled bananas to the frying pan.
Fry the bananas for about 3-5 minutes or until they start to become lightly golden in color.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bananas in the pan.
Continue to cook, occasionally stirring and turning the bananas gently to caramelize them, for another 5-7 minutes or until the sugar is completely melted and coats the bananas evenly.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the bananas from the pan and let them cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, skewer each banana onto wooden sticks.
Serve warm as a delicious snack or dessert.
