CARAMELIZED BANANAS

The faint flavor of smoke and caramelized brown sugar do exquisite things to a banana. A drizzling of rum or liqueur gives this simple dessert "gourmet" status. Tips for success: Choose firm, just-ripe bananas so they don't fall apart, cut the bananas as instructed for ease of handling, and use a clean grill rack or a fresh piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to cover the grill.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Steps:

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS



Easy Caramelized Bananas image

These are great for breakfast over pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, oatmeal, etc. Or serve with low fat ice cream and toasted macadamia nuts for dessert. You can use regular tub margarine or butter in place of the cooking spray. However, this will double the cooking time, and make for a crunchier stickier outside to your banana.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 bananas
4 -6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more)
cooking spray (regular or butter flavor)

Steps:

  • Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
  • Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
  • Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
  • Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
  • Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
  • Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
  • Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe, yellow bananas with a few brown spots. Avoid bananas that are too green or have too many brown spots, as they may be too firm or overripe.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce: The caramel sauce is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, and avoid sauces that are too thin or runny.
  • Don't overcook the bananas: The bananas should be cooked until they are caramelized and slightly softened, but they should not be mushy. Overcooking the bananas will make them tough and dry.
  • Serve immediately: Caramelized bananas are best served immediately, while they are still warm and gooey. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Caramelized bananas are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give caramelized bananas a try!
