Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 0.5 liters vanilla ice cream
- 8 pieces fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F (175°C).
Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise so that you have 8 long pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Lightly brush the cut sides of the bananas with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Place the banana halves cut side down onto the preheated grill.
Grill the bananas for about 2-3 minutes until grill marks form.
Flip the bananas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Remove the bananas from the grill and immediately brush each half with the honey and cinnamon mixture.
Serve the grilled bananas warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each plate.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add freshness and a pop of color before serving.
