Banana Cue with Toasted Sesame Seeds (Filipino Street Food)

Peel the saba bananas and cut each in half crosswise. Insert a bamboo skewer into the cut end of each piece, pushing about two-thirds of the way through.

In a small dry pan over low heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

In a wide frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until melted and bubbly. Carefully place the banana skewers in the pan, turning to coat evenly with the caramel. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are tender and the caramel deepens in color.

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the caramelized bananas, turning to coat. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Arrange the banana cues on a plate and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or dessert.
