Ingredients

• 6 pieces ripe saba bananas
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 6 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling the saba bananas and setting them aside.

Step 2

In a large pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the peeled saba bananas into the pan.

Step 4

Fry the bananas for about 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally until they are lightly golden.

Step 5

Pour the brown sugar into the pan, spreading it over the bananas evenly.

Step 6

Stir the bananas gently to coat them well with the melting sugar. The sugar will begin to caramelize.

Step 7

Continue cooking, ensuring the sugar fully caramelizes and clings to the bananas for an additional 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Once the bananas are evenly coated in caramelized sugar, remove them from the pan using tongs.

Step 9

Thread each banana onto a skewer.

Step 10

Allow the Banana Cue to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the sugar harden slightly.

Step 11

Serve warm as a sweet afternoon snack.
