Hey, food lovers! Today, I’m sharing a super fun and delicious treat that’s perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth Crispy Banana Rice Paper Rolls! These rolls are packed with creamy Nutella and the natural sweetness of bananas, all wrapped in crispy rice paper. It’s a perfect combination of flavors and textures! Let’s dive into how you can make these crispy, sweet, and oh-so-delicious rolls at home!
Method
To begin, prepare the bananas by peeling them and slicing them into thin, long pieces. These banana slices will be wrapped inside the rice paper rolls, so make sure they aren’t too thick, ensuring they roll up properly and cook evenly. Next, set up the rice paper by pouring water into a shallow bowl. The water will be used to soak the rice paper wrappers. Take one rice paper and dip it into the water for just a few seconds. Be sure not to leave it in for too long as it could become too soft and tear. After soaking, remove the rice paper and lay it flat on a clean surface, such as a countertop or cutting board.
For assembling the rolls, spread a thin layer of Nutella in the center of the rice paper. This will provide the creamy base and sweet flavor. Next, add a few slices of banana on top of the Nutella, placing them evenly in the center of the wrapper. For an added boost of sweetness, sprinkle some brown sugar over the bananas before you roll them up. Once the filling is ready, carefully fold the sides of the rice paper inward to hold the filling in place, and then roll it up tightly, similar to how you would roll a burrito. Make sure the bananas and Nutella are securely wrapped inside, ensuring no gaps.
Now it’s time to fry the rolls. Heat up a frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully place the rolls in the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the rolls to make sure they don’t burn adjust the heat if necessary.After frying, drain the rolls on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Let them cool for a minute before serving to let them crisp up and become the perfect temperature to bite into. These crispy banana rice paper rolls are best enjoyed while they are still warm and crispy!

8-10 rice paper wrappers
1/2 cup water (for soaking the rice paper)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
- Prepare the bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into thin, long pieces. These slices will be wrapped inside the rice paper rolls, so make sure they’re not too thick.
- Set up the rice paper: In a shallow bowl, pour the water. You’ll be using this to soak the rice paper wrappers. Grab one rice paper wrapper and dip it in the water for a few seconds until it softens.
- Assemble the rolls: Once the rice paper is softened, place it flat on a clean surface. In the center of the rice paper, spread a thin layer of Nutella. Then, add a few slices of banana on top. Sprinkle some brown sugar over the bananas for that extra sweetness!
- Roll it up: Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards, then roll it up tightly like a burrito, making sure the bananas and Nutella are securely wrapped inside.

Notes
- When soaking the rice paper, make sure not to leave it in the water for too long. The rice paper can become too soft and tear easily. Just a few seconds is enough to soften it!
- Frying the rolls requires careful attention. Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the rolls crispy, but not so hot that they burn. A medium heat works best!
- Be gentle when flipping the rolls to avoid tearing the delicate rice paper. Use tongs or a spatula to handle them carefully.
