Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe saba bananas (or ripe plantains)
- 1 cup canned or fresh jackfruit
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Peel the saba bananas or plantains and slice each banana into half lengthwise.
If using canned jackfruit, drain well and slice into thin strips. If using fresh jackfruit, remove seeds and slice into thin strips.
Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface and lay one sliced banana half on it about two inches from the bottom edge.
Top the banana with a few strips of jackfruit and sprinkle about one to two teaspoons of brown sugar over the fruit.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and tightly roll up the wrapper, sealing the end with a dab of water to keep it closed. Repeat this process for all wrappers.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it's hot enough for frying.
Fry each turon in batches until golden brown and crispy, about two to three minutes per side.
Remove the turon from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Optionally, you can drizzle with more brown sugar syrup or serve with dairy-free ice cream.
