Caramelized banana is a sweet, soft and sticky delicacy that can be prepared as a snack or meal. It is important not to burn and blacken the sweet fruit. Fortunately, by grilling the banana with brown sugar, you can develop a nice coat of brown caramel as long as you apply high heat. Preparing caramelized banana on a grill trumps using a skillet not only because the preparation time is shorter but also because grilling gives the banana a faint, smoky flavor.
Step 1
Heat or set the grill to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Combine the butter and brown sugar in a dish.
Step 3
Peel the banana and cut the fruit into two pieces down its length.
Step 4
Hold the two halves together and cut down the halves crosswise to make four quarters.
Step 5
Place the banana pieces into the butter-and-sugar mixture. Coat the bananas with the mixture by carefully flipping them.
Step 6
Place the sugar-coated bananas onto the grill and cook them for five minutes or until a crispy brown coat of caramel forms.
Step 7
Turn the bananas over and grill them for another five minutes; they should be golden brown and caramelized all over.
Step 8
Remove the bananas from the heat and serve warm.
Tips and Warnings
- Consider serving the bananas warm with ice cream or a sundae.
