Calories 76kcal
Equipment
- 1 heavy skillet or air fryer
Ingredients

Instructions
Prep
- Cut a banana down the middle lengthwise.
- Roll a banana half in raw sugar. If you are using the super-sweet baby bananas, you can probably skip this step.
- Wrap prepared banana half in a lumpia wrapper. You can do this "burrito-style,' or leave the ends open.
Pan-frying
- Pour a scant ¼-inch of oil into a medium skillet and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F | 176°C. A drop of water should immediately sizzle when dropped in the pan.
- Carefully lay wrapped banana halves seam down in the pan. Do not crowd.Fry on one side until golden, and then flip and repeat on the other side.
- Drain on paper towels.
Air-frying
- Preheat air-fryer to it to 400°F | 205°C for 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush each roll all over with oil.Immediately place oil-brushed rolls into the basket, allowing for space around each one. Do not crowd.
- Air-fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve immediately, alone or with caramel for dipping. (They are also good hours later - they just aren't as crispy.)
Notes
Use sweet baby bananas if you can find them, but regular bananas will work just fine.
