- The peel turned black.
- Natural! Black peel indicates the inside is hot.
- Juice leaked out.
- Cut on the concave side like a boat so juice stays in.
Honey Glazed Grilled Bananas
Bananas come in 'natural packaging' perfect for grilling: the peel protects the flesh from burning while the inside steams and becomes creamy in its own juices. Heat converts starches into sugar, making roasted bananas much sweeter. The simplest yet most spectacular grill dessert.

Instructions
1
✓
Leave peel on bananas. Slit lengthwise along the curve, but don't cut all the way through the bottom!
Tip: This creates a 'pocket' for fillings.
2
✓
Stuff with small pats of butter, sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
Tip: Butter melts into the fruit, carrying the spices.
3
✓
Grill cut-side up. Cook 8-10 minutes until peel is black and inside bubbles.
Tip: Black skin is part of the process. Inside becomes pudding-like.
4
✓
Remove, drizzle with honey, and serve warm right from the peel.
Tip: Serve with vanilla ice cream for a hot-cold contrast.
