Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness of banana brings out its natural sweetness, resulting in a more flavorful dessert.
  • Grill bananas over medium heat: High heat can easily burn the bananas, so stick to medium heat for even caramelization and a tender interior.
  • Baste bananas frequently: Applying the melted sauce keeps bananas moist and helps develop a glossy, caramelized coating.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give bananas enough space to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of grilling.
  • Make sure the sauce is hot: A hot sauce will caramelize the bananas more effectively and create a richer flavor.
