The dish is often sweetened with brown sugar or caramel, although it can also be served without any added sweeteners.

The preparation of nilagang saging is straightforward and requires only a few ingredients. The saba bananas are peeled and then boiled in water. The amount of time needed to boil the bananas can vary depending on their size and ripeness, but they are typically boiled until they become soft and easily pierced with a fork. Once the bananas are cooked, they can be served as is or sweetened with brown sugar or caramel.

Another common variation of nilagang saging is minatamis na saging, which is made by caramelizing the bananas in brown sugar and water.
