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