Do you have a bunch of overripe bananas sitting on your counter, just waiting to go to waste? Don’t toss them out just yet! These overripe bananas are actually perfect for making delicious Filipino treats like Turon and Pinaypay. In this episode of my #CookingVlog, I’ll show you how to transform these nearly spoiled bananas into crispy, sweet snacks that are ideal for any day. Not only is this a tasty way to save food, but it also aligns with my micro-living goals of reducing waste and using ingredients we already have on hand. So, will these treats be a success or a flop? Join me and let’s find out!
The great thing about Turon and Pinaypay is that they’re simple to make and require very few ingredients. For Turon, we’ll be wrapping banana slices in spring roll wrappers, sprinkling a bit of brown sugar on them, and frying until they’re golden brown and crispy. Pinaypay, on the other hand, involves slicing the bananas and fanning them out before frying, creating a beautiful, fan-like shape. Both snacks are sweet, crunchy, and give those overripe bananas a new, delicious life. These traditional Filipino snacks are perfect for anyone who loves bananas and wants to try something different with their fruit!
Making Turon and Pinaypay isn’t just about enjoying delicious food; it’s also about embracing the principles of micro-living. By using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away, we’re practicing sustainability in a small but meaningful way. Reducing food waste is an important part of mindful living, and turning overripe bananas into treats is a great way to make the most out of what we have. If you’re like me and enjoy trying new recipes, repurposing food like this can be both rewarding and practical. Plus, the sense of accomplishment from successfully creating something tasty out of would-be waste is incredibly satisfying!
As we go through the process in the video, I’ll be sharing my tips and tricks for making these treats even better. For example, adding a bit of brown sugar or cinnamon can give the bananas a richer flavor, while frying at the right temperature ensures they come out perfectly crispy. I’ll also show you how to slice and arrange the bananas for Pinaypay so they look as good as they taste. These small tips can make a big difference in the final result, and I’m excited to share them with you so you can try it yourself at home.
