Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm bananas for grilling. Overripe bananas will be too soft and mushy, while unripe bananas will be too hard and starchy.
  • Use a grill or grill pan that has been preheated to medium-high heat.
  • Brush the bananas with melted butter or oil before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the bananas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Serve the bananas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as cinnamon sugar, honey, or ice cream.

With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and unforgettable dessert that will please everyone at your table.
