Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Brush this mixture lightly over the cut sides of the bananas.
Place the bananas, cut side down, on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the bananas start to caramelize.
Carefully flip the bananas and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the bananas from the grill and place them on a serving platter, cut side up.
Drizzle each banana half with about 1 tablespoon of honey. Adjust to taste if needed.
Sprinkle a generous pinch of ground cinnamon over each banana half.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet, heart-healthy treat!
