Grilled desserts: Banana splits

Grilled Banana Splits

Fire up your grill and put a twist on the traditional banana split! 

 

 

 

 

Who says grilling is just for meat and vegetables? Throw a spin on the classic banana split by grilling your bananas. Warm, tender grilled bananas make this banana split a perfect ending to your grilled meal!

Choose firm (but ripe) bananas and cut lengthwise in skins. Place bananas cut-side down on the grate of your pre-heated grill.

Using a long-handled spatula or pair of tongs, turn bananas once grill marks appear and brush with a honey-cinnamon mixture. Cook until skin begins to pull away from bananas. Peel skins away from bananas, place in a serving bowl and start building your banana split!
