Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Bananas

    Select a few straight bananas. Peel the bananas and cut off the brown ends from both sides.

  2. Skewer the Bananas

    Insert a small skewer through the center of each banana, starting from one end. For better stability, insert a second skewer just above the first one, ensuring both skewers run parallel through the banana. This makes it easy to handle the banana without it slipping.

  3. Apply Peanut Butter and Sesame Seeds

    For one banana, use a fork to spread creamy peanut butter evenly over its entire surface. Once coated, gently sprinkle sesame seeds over the peanut butter, ensuring good coverage.

  4. Apply Cocoa Powder

    For another banana, place natural unsweetened cocoa powder into a tea strainer. Hold the banana over a clean surface and shake the strainer to evenly dust the banana with cocoa powder. Flip the banana and repeat until fully coated.

  5. Slice into Sushi Pieces

    Place the coated bananas on a plate. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each banana into bite-sized pieces, resembling sushi rolls. You can adjust the thickness of the slices to your preference.

  6. Serve and Enjoy

    Your banana sushi is now ready to be served. You can use skewers as makeshift chopsticks to pick up and enjoy the pieces.
