Island-Grilled Bananas Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

6 small bananas
3 tbsp dark rum
1 1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 tbsp brown sugar

Recipe Instructions:

Make a small slit into the skin of each banana. Cut through 1/4 inch of each banana and drizzle in some of the rum, extract, and sugar. Close up the skin with a toothpick. Prepare an outside grill with an oiled rack set 6 inches above the heat source. On a gas grill, set the heat to medium.

Grill the bananas in their skins for about 30 to 35 minutes until the skins are blackened and the bananas are hot. Slit each banana and push the ends in to fluff up. Eat like a baked potato, directly from the skin.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1 small banana.

Exchanges Per Serving: 1 1/2 Fruit.

“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.”
