Grilled Bananas

Serves 6

You can also grill the bananas unpeeled. Grill until the peel is black, remove, and split the banana. This works great for campfires, too!

¼ cup almonds

1 sprig cilantro (optional)

6 bananas

Cooking spray

2 tablespoons honey

¼ cup light brown sugar

  • Preheat grill. Chop the almonds and cilantro.

  • Peel the bananas, spray with cooking spray, and place on grill. Move them during grilling to form X-shaped grill mark on them.

  • To serve, slice the bananas on bias, fan on plate, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with almonds, brown sugar, and cilantro.

Types of Bananas

There are hundreds of types of bananas. You are probably most familiar with the yellow Cavendish banana. However, your market may carry other varieties such as the red banana, which is sweeter than the Cavendish, or the Manzano, which has an apple flavor. If you like bananas, try them all!
