Caramelized Baked Bananas Recipes

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
• Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
• Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
• Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
• Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
• Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
• Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.
