My all-time favorite sweet treat is fried plantain egg rolls made in the Filipino style. Plantains inside of sweet, crispy shells that are still warm and supple. When you have everything prepared beforehand, they are simple to construct. They can be frozen in large quantities and immediately fried.

Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 20 spring roll wrappers
- 5 plantains, peeled and quartered
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
Instructions
- Put sugar and water in separate bowls. Separate spring roll wrappers; stack. Peel plantains; cut in half and then half again lengthwise.
- Place 1 wrapper on a clean work surface with 1 corner facing you. Coat 1 plantain piece in sugar; place on wrapper 1 inch from corner facing you. Fold corner over plantain; roll up halfway. Fold in 2 side corners; continue rolling until near the top. Moisten top corner with wet fingers; finish rolling. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place egg rolls in a single layer; fry until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip; sprinkle with brown sugar. Fry 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer egg rolls to a plate.
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
