Bananas Wonton

6 ingredients
12 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled
  • 6 ounces wonton wrappers, about 24
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • oil (for frying)
  • powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice the banana into slices about 1/2 inch thick. You want to have the wonton wrapper surround it completely, and if it's too thick a slice, it won't.
  2. 2
    Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  3. 3
    Have a small bowl of water ready.
  4. 4
    Place the wonton wrapper on your work surface.
  5. 5
    Dip the banana into the cinnamon sugar and place in the center of the wrapper.
  6. 6
    Fold one corner over the banana slice. Moisten the next corner and fold it over the first corner, pressing gently. Repeat until all four corners are folded over.
  7. 7
    Repeat with remaining bananas and wontons. You might need more cinnamon sugar, depending on how generous you are, I used just a bit per slice.
  8. 8
    Heat oil in a saucepan or wok until medium hot, around 350 deg.
  9. 9
    Drop in a few of the wontons. They should cook in under a minute, and you might need to help it turn over onto the other side, once the first side is golden.
  10. 10
    Remove with a skimmer and drain on paper towels.
  11. 11
    If you are not further dipping these into a chocolate fondue, then you might want to sift a little powdered sugar over these.
  12. 12
    Note: lots of variations are possible - a dab of Nutella under the banana slice, some coconut flakes, a dash of nutmeg or cardamon in the sugar.
