BBQ Grilled Cinnamon Chocolate Bananas
Grilled cinnamon chocolate bananas are a unique BBQ dessert that perfectly combines sweet and smoky flavors. The natural sweetness of the banana is enhanced on the grill, while the cinnamon and dark chocolate add depth. Grilled fruits have a long history in tropical and Mediterranean cuisines, where spicy and caramelized notes enhance natural flavors. The slight smokiness and the gentle melting of the chocolate create a unique taste experience. This recipe is ideal for ending a summer barbecue party or even as a quick, healthy dessert. For an even more extraordinary flavor, try serving it with a little toasted coconut or vanilla ice cream!

Preparation Steps
1
Halve the bananas lengthwise, keeping the peel on to help them hold their shape during grilling.
2
In a bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Brush this mixture over the cut sides of the bananas.
3
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If desired, grease the grates with oil or butter to prevent the bananas from sticking.
4
Place the bananas cut-side down on the grill grates and grill for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly caramelized.
5
Flip the bananas and sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the cut sides. Close the grill lid and let it heat for another 1-2 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and gooey.
6
Before serving, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and, if desired, garnish with ground nuts for an extra crunchy texture.
