Broiled Banana Crisp Recipes

BROILED BANANA CRISP

Steps:

• Peel bananas and drizzle with lemon juice; then cut in half lengthwise and then again across.
• You should have a total of 16 quarters of banana.
• Then distribute these banana quarters equally among 4 broil-and-serve dishes.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, uncooked oats, flour and allspice -- NOTE: Allspice tastes like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, so you could probably substitute a mixture of those three if you're out of allspice or go with just cinnamon.
• Cut butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs and then spread the crumbs equally over all the bananas.
• Turn on your broiler and place these dishes under the broiler, 5" from the heat source and broil 3 min; the idea is to brown it and warm it at the same time.
• Watch carefully, don't burn it or yourself!
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

BROILED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Peel bananas and slice them crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices. Mix the brown sugar and lime juice and toss this with bananas. Spread the sliced bananas in a shallow baking pan and broil, as close to the heat source as possible, until the sugar has melted into a glaze - 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a pretty serving bowl and serve immediately - topped with sour cream and nuts if you wish.

BROILED BANANA SPLITS

Steps:

• Mix 1 tablespoon brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Halve 4 bananas lengthwise; brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

• Stir the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl; add the butter and mash with a fork to incorporate oat mixture into the butter. Spread about half of the butter mixture over the top of each grapefruit half.
• Cook under the broiler until the topping is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

BROILED BANANAS WITH LEMON AND SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Peel the bananas and arrange them in one layer in a gratin dish. Pour the lemon juice over them, then roll them in the juice to prevent them from discoloring. Sprinkle them with brown sugar.
• Place the bananas under the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat, and broil them until they are brown on top, about 4 minutes. Turn the bananas over and place them again under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until brown on top. They should be soft at this point when pierced with a fork.
• Cool the bananas until they are lukewarm, sprinkle them with the rum, if desired, and serve immediately.
