Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, ensuring the pieces remain intact. Place the banana halves cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Brush the melted butter mixture generously over the banana halves. Make sure each piece is evenly coated for the best flavor.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bananas, reserving the remaining 2 tablespoons for serving.
Bake the bananas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized on the edges.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bananas cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve the roasted bananas warm, drizzled with the remaining maple syrup. For an extra indulgent treat, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
