Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.
Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it for about 20 seconds.
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
Place the banana halves cut side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Generously brush the bananas with the butter mixture using a pastry brush, making sure they are evenly coated.
Fold up the edges of the foil to create a small baking packet, but leave it open at the top.
Place the foil packet on the grill and cook with the lid closed for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bananas are warmed through and slightly caramelized.
Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill. Use a spatula to transfer the banana halves to a serving plate.
Drizzle any remaining butter mixture from the foil over the bananas and serve warm.
