Cinnamon Sautéed Bananas
Serves: 4
Sautéeing is another way to prepare bananas that’s usually reserved for desserts. Try this delicious dessert idea that takes advantage of the naturally sweet flavor of this versatile fruit.
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 4 large bananas, about 8 inches long (they should be just firmly ripe or very slightly under-ripe so they will hold their shape) Add to list
- 2 tablespoons sugar Add to list
- 1 teaspoon or so powdered cinnamon Add to list
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Add to list
- 2 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Add to list
Preparation
Peel the bananas, cut into crosswise slices 1/4-inch thick, and toss in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
When ready to cook, set a 10-inch frying pan over moderately high heat, add the butter, and, when bubbling, scoop in the bananas.
Holding the pan by its handle, toss the bananas in the pan every 10 seconds or so for 2 to 3 minutes until the bananas are tender — the slices should hold their shape and be slightly caramelized.
Serve on a warm plate. You might accompany them with sugar cookies, ginger snaps or vanilla ice cream.
