How to Grill Bananas

Grilling is a favorite summer pastime, yet it can be done any time of the year. Making dessert on the grill is a piece of cake when you make these grilled bananas. Grilling bananas brings out their sweetness and when you add cinnamon and sugar and a drizzle of honey, they are scrumptious. For an even sweeter treat, make grilled banana splits by layering ice cream and grilled bananas and adding any other toppings you like. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Preheat the grill if you aren't already using it. If you are barbecuing and the grill is hot, add the bananas when everything else is done cooking.

    • 2

      Combine about 2 tablespoons each of sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

    • 3

      Cut the unpeeled bananas lengthwise.

    • 4

      Drizzle a little honey over the cut side of each banana and sprinkle each banana half with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

    • 5

      Place the banana cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 2 minutes or until black grill marks appear.

    • 6

      Turn each banana half over and grill another 5 minutes. Remove them to a serving platter. You can either remove the banana peel at this point or serve in the peel where the banana can be scooped out and eaten.

    • 7

      Place 2 banana halves on a plate. Top each serving with ice cream if you desire. Two banana halves equals one serving.
