02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with some aluminum foil to keep things easy. Place the bananas on the foil, then sprinkle them with brown sugar, drizzle a bit of lemon juice, honey, and orange juice over the top. Cover everything with another piece of foil and pop it in the oven for about 5 minutes. After that, take off the foil and let the bananas bake a little longer until they turn a nice golden brown, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, and once they’re caramelized to your liking, they’re ready to enjoy!

Cook's tip

- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
- Brush the bananas lightly with melted butter or oil to enhance caramelization.
- Grill on medium heat to avoid burning while allowing the sugars to develop.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey. Adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or cinnamon can bring extra texture and flavor. This treat also pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea.

Storage & leftovers

Grilled bananas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a microwave or warm oven before serving to restore their softness.
