Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 12 slices ripe jackfruit
- 12 sheets spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Peel the ripe saba bananas or plantains and cut them in half lengthwise.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the sliced bananas, ensuring each piece is lightly coated to enhance the natural sweetness.
Prepare the ripe jackfruit by removing any seeds and slicing the fruit into thin strips.
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface in a diamond shape, with one point facing you.
Place a piece of banana and two strips of jackfruit slightly below the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the side corners over. Roll tightly, and seal the end with a dab of water to secure.
Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining ingredients.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. It should be enough to submerge at least half of the turon rolls.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the turon in the skillet, seam side down. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook each turon for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy the naturally sweet and crispy turon!
