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.

CARAMELIZED BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Cut bananas in half lengthwise and then in half again crosswise. Pour sugar onto a small plate. Dip the cut sides of the bananas in the sugar, and caramelize under the broiler or with a blowtorch.
• Place a scoop of each flavor of ice cream in a martini glass. Place 2 pieces of caramelized bananas at the back of the glass like rabbit ears. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, then spoonfuls of marshmallow sauce and pineapple sauce, then sprinkle with chopped nuts. Garnish with a big sprig of mint.

CARAMELIZED BANANAS WITH RUM SAUCE AND VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add bananas and saute until they turn brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar over the bananas and cook until the sugar melts, about another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour rum into skillet; ignite with a match and let the flames die out.
• Divide ice cream among 4 serving dishes and spoon bananas over. Serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a medium fire in the grill.
• 2. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a shallow dish. Peel the bananas, cut in half lengthwise, and then again crosswise. Add the bananas to the butter mixture and toss very gently to coat.
• 3. Grill the bananas, turning once, until a crispy brown coating of caramelized sugar forms on the surface, about 5 minutes per side. Watch carefully; don't allow the sugar to char.
• 4. Remove from the grill and, if desired, drizzle the rum or liqueur on top. Serve hot.

BOOZY BAKED CARAMELISED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Toss the banana halves in an ovenproof dish with the sugar, maple syrup and rum or whisky. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt, if you like.
• Bake for 15 mins, then remove from the oven. Heat the grill to high and grill the bananas for 3-5 mins, or until bubbling and caramelised. Spoon the bananas into bowls and scatter over the pecans. Serve with ice cream, and any of the caramelised syrup from the dish drizzled over the top.

CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Peel all bananas and after doing so split down the middle and then cut in half, optional to cut in half but you do need to split, it is easier on me to quarter them and makes a good presentation.
• Place cut bananas aside and melt 1 stick of butter, set the other stick aside in case you need more when cooking, if you use a lot when dredging the bananas then you will need to melt before starting to fry.
• Once butter is melted start warming your skillet on medium high, watch closely as you will only want to slightly brown when cooking so it wont take long.
• While skillet is heating up please take your bananas and start buttering both sides of each slice very well. I use a brush to do so or you can dredge them through the butter if you wish but please keep in mind doing so will soak up more butter so please be careful if you do not wish them buttery.
• After all slices are done add butter in the skillet (enough to coat the bottom well).
• Then start placing slices in the skillet, when you have a skillet full take brown sugar and start adding, no measurement is needed as you just cover them.
• After you coat a side with brown sugar on the first coat flip them over and coat the next side and let them sit for about one minute.
• After the minute is up flip and coat again as doing so add brown sugar in the pan and let it cook along with the rest, it does not have to be a lot but I judge it by the way people like caramel, so please just try a little at first as this is very rich.
• When bananas are golden and slightly brown down the center they are done.
• Remove from skillet and place on plate.
• Add whip cream to top and serve hot :-).
• Then repeat until you finish.
• Also try other fruits with it, I top mine with cold strawberries from time to time.
• Enjoy!
