Grilled Spiced Bananas
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 pinch cinnamon, I use McCormicks fresh grind bottle
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1 pinch sea salt or 1 pinch kosher salt, to taste
- 1 scoop ice cream, optional unless you have kids (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cruzan banana rum, only if you want to flambe (optional)
- Heat grill to medium high.
- Make sure grate is clean.
- This also works great on my indoor jennaire electric grill.
- Melt butter, clarify if you're obsessive.
- Halve banana lengthwise and peel.
- Brush the flat side with butter and grill approximately 1 minute, until you have nice grill marks.
- While grilling brush the curved side which is facing up lightly with butter.
- Flip the banana halves and brush flat side again lightly with the remaining butter.
- Grind or sprinkle on a dusting of cinnamon, then the nutmeg.
- Add the surprise taste of just a touch of sea salt and a little dust of the cayenne.
- Grill until warmed through but not soft.
- Depending on how quick you are with the spices, the bananas may be just about done when you finish.
- If not, cover grill and check in a minute.
- Flambe with the rum if you're adventurous, I do it right in the seving dish.
- Great as dessert with a scoop of ice cream, and as a side especially with grilled ham or pork.
- Its also a fun snack if you and friends are enjoying wine on the deck.
