Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the bananas in half lengthwise.
- Sprinkle the bananas with light brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Wrap each banana slice in a lumpia wrapper, sealing the edges with water.
- Deep fry the wrapped bananas until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, use firm, ripe cooking bananas rather than overly ripe ones. If you don't have lumpia wrappers, spring roll wrappers can be a good substitute. To add a twist, consider incorporating shredded coconut or chocolate chips inside the wraps for added flavor. Ensure your oil is hot enough to prevent soggy rolls, and fry in batches for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Turron Na Saging warm, dusted with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. These banana rolls pair beautifully with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a delightful brunch, consider serving alongside Guilt Free Spicy Cranberry Dip as a refreshing contrast. A scoop of ice cream can elevate the dish even further.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Turron Na Saging can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispness, or briefly pan-fry in a little oil. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wrappers soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of bananas for this recipe?
While cooking bananas are recommended for their firmness and flavor, you can use ripe plantains as a substitute. Just ensure they are not too ripe, as overly soft bananas may not hold their shape during frying.
Is it possible to make Turron Na Saging in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls ahead of time by wrapping the bananas and storing them in the refrigerator. Just fry them right before serving to ensure they are crispy and warm. This makes them perfect for parties or gatherings.
What oil is best for deep frying these rolls?
Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying the Turron Na Saging. This will help achieve a golden brown color without imparting any unwanted flavors, ensuring the bananas remain the star of the dish.
