- 4 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise to create 8 banana halves.
Step 3
Lightly brush each banana half with extra-virgin olive oil. This will prevent sticking on the grill and add a hint of richness.
Step 4
Place the banana halves on the grill, cut side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they have grill marks and the edges begin to caramelize.
Step 5
Carefully flip the bananas using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the bananas from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle each grilled banana half with 1/2 tablespoon of honey, ensuring an even coating.
Step 8
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon generously over the honey-drizzled bananas while they are still warm.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing taste.
Step 10
Serve the BBQ bananas immediately as a delightful and sweet Mediterranean diet-inspired dessert.
