Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium bananas, slightly underripe
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons honey (or sugar-free honey alternative)
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Peel the bananas, then slice each banana in half lengthwise. You should have four banana halves.
Brush the bananas with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a light layer of flavor.
Spray each side of the banana halves lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix the honey (or sugar-free honey alternative) with the ground cinnamon.
Place the banana halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until you see nice grill marks.
Carefully turn the bananas over and brush the cinnamon-honey mixture over the top. Grill for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Once they are caramelized and nicely grilled, remove the bananas from the grill.
Place the grilled bananas on a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle chopped almonds over the top for added crunch.
Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
