Grilled bananas are seasoned, cooked, and served as a dessert atop ice cream. They can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. Banana desserts have become popular worldwide, including banana ice cream, fried bananas, and sweet banana bread. To make grilled bananas, unripe bananas are halved and coated in spices before being grilled. They can be doused in alcohol for more flavor and are best served at room temperature or warm. Grilled bananas can be refrigerated for up to four days or frozen for up to three months. The banana split is a popular banana dessert in Western society.

Grilled bananas are seasoned and grilled bananas in their skins. Prepping, cooking, and cooling bananas usually take less than 15 minutes total. They are typically served as a dessert atop ice cream. Although they are at their best when served a few minutes after cooking, grilled bananas can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. Since the banana’s introduction around the world, banana desserts have become the order of the day, with shops offering banana ice cream, fried bananas, and sweet banana bread.

To make grilled bananas, unripe bananas are halved crosswise, then lengthwise with the peel intact. The flesh of the bananas is coated in spices, such as honey, sugar and cinnamon, and then left to sit for about five to ten minutes. Next, the bananas are placed on a preheated gas or charcoal grill cut-side down, skins side up. They are usually cooked for a couple of minutes or until there are no visible grill marks on the meat, then flipped to be grilled for five minutes skin side.

Grilled bananas are mostly served as a dessert or topping over ice cream. Once they have been removed from their skins, they are sometimes doused in alcohol to give them more flavor. It’s best to let them cool for several minutes before placing them on ice cream, otherwise the dish will melt quickly. They are usually served room temperature or warm rather than hot for this reason.

Once grilled, bananas can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to four days. They can also be mashed, mixed with lemon juice, and placed in freezer-safe bags to keep for up to three months in a freezer. If stored longer, the quality of bananas could deteriorate beyond what most people consider edible. Also, frozen fruits tend to be much softer than fresh ones and may suffer from some color changes, even when mixed with lemon juice or other preservatives.

Many different styles of banana desserts have been enjoyed throughout the world and throughout history. The banana split is perhaps one of the most recognizable banana desserts in Western society. This dessert became popular in the United States of America in the 1920s and typically features scoops of ice cream atop a banana that has been split in half, as well as other toppings such as chocolate syrup.
