Banana Que




  • 4 Large Cardava Banana (not over ripe)
  • Vegetable oil
  • 3 bamboo skewers 

1. Trim both ends of each Cardava banana and peel off the skin. Bias slice one of the bananas into 3.

2. In a frying pan, heat just enough vegetable oil to go half way up the bananas. When the oil is really hot, fry the bananas just until both sides turn brown.

3. When the bananas have browned, removed from pan. Remove half of the oil and sprinkle sugar in remaining oil. Add the bananas when sugar starts to caramelized. Toss the bananas until completely covered with sugar.

4. Remove bananas from the frying pan and insert in skewers. Serve warm. 
*This is how the banana cue I used to buy when I was in grade school looked like. One small piece at the bottom and a whole banana on top. Just enough to fill my hungry stomach! :)
Using bamboo skewer is optional, if you wish to sell banana que then you need to have this. But if it's just for home snack, you can just eat it using fork.
