Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it for about 20 seconds.
Step 4
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
Step 5
Place the banana halves cut side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Step 6
Generously brush the bananas with the butter mixture using a pastry brush, making sure they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Fold up the edges of the foil to create a small baking packet, but leave it open at the top.
Step 8
Place the foil packet on the grill and cook with the lid closed for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bananas are warmed through and slightly caramelized.
Step 9
Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill. Use a spatula to transfer the banana halves to a serving plate.
Step 10
Drizzle any remaining butter mixture from the foil over the bananas and serve warm.
