Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium bananas, slightly underripe
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons honey (or sugar-free honey alternative)
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Step 2
Peel the bananas, then slice each banana in half lengthwise. You should have four banana halves.
Step 3
Brush the bananas with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a light layer of flavor.
Step 4
Spray each side of the banana halves lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the honey (or sugar-free honey alternative) with the ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Place the banana halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until you see nice grill marks.
Step 7
Carefully turn the bananas over and brush the cinnamon-honey mixture over the top. Grill for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 8
Once they are caramelized and nicely grilled, remove the bananas from the grill.
Step 9
Place the grilled bananas on a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle chopped almonds over the top for added crunch.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
